I flew in from CFU in October, and we went round T5A, B, and C, twice each, to find a stand to park on (eventually settling on A22).

The Pilot said that we were meant to come into A12, but the aircraft had gone tech. So, ATC, suggested A15, but the tug had gone tech. So, ATC, sent us to a remote stand, but on the way there, changed their mind and brought us back to T5A gates.

Seeing as we landed 20mins early, we eventually parked on stand 45mins later!
