hub, that can't be correct all the time. I did IAD-FRA-BOM. Arrived at a bus gate - not sure if that that's why, and then had to take the train to the terminal and clear security.

TG is one of the carriers that won't sell their discount fares unless booked on TG stock, at least IME. So TG segment will usually book in Y on 016. Not price competitive unless one wants to fly a full fare anyway.
