Just for reference can anybody confirm is this flight is always a remote stand? I'm assuming NZ don't see the point in paying for a gate and moving the plane after it's been parked up all afternoon.

If it is due to the walking involved it's clearly best avoided if you're impaired in any way.

Never had a remote stand (at LAX) for NZ5 in the past year, the most recent being last month (first weekend of June).

And as someone commented above, it was one of the closer gates from the lounge as well (148).
