Absolutely. Kind of why I quickly took a photo of the zone lines.
All of my flights that departed YVR 49 last year were nasty gate experiences as I mentioned.
This was a photo I took in May 2015 where the zone lines were so poorly set up for that gate that there was a line down the corridor towards the MLL.
This week's experience was significantly improved.
