• I've got C37-C50, B1-B6 (guessing B7 is first bridge), then A6-8 (not 4/5/9?) and A17-19 (not 16/20/21?) at either end of Concourse A. A4-A9 works for me - right beside the Shake Shack!
• I'm online check-in & boarding pass 36 hours prior (connecting QF flight on EK paper), and I'm on Flex fare so bumping shouldn't be an issue? EK recommends 45 minutes prior to flight; doors close @ 20 minutes prior. With the bus, I'd rather not cut it close to 20, and I absolutely want an on-time departure. Whether the other 300+ pax cooperate is beyond my control.
• Appreciate the 60-minute cut-off to check-in for flight, online or kiosk or sometimes even counter.
• Well aware of random gate assignment, especially for 3-class 773. I could arrive late...or early. I'll adjust on the day; free showers are an option. So is running from security to the train to my gate.
• Thanks to this info, it looks like my flight is very consistently at a remote stand in July/August. I'll cut my treadmill run from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. Might explain why the flight averages 30 minutes from dep. time to actual takeoff.

Last question. Where does the airside train from A to B pop pax out at? Concourse A entrance is well marked (Gate A12-A13), but I must be blind and can't see train icon on Concourse B (or C). Not the train to Terminal 3 (although I'm guessing...same location? B17/B19?)

Thanks again!
