I've had anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes but in fairness, I'm finding taxi times from that far north runway to be improving... typically 15 minutes or just a little longer.
I timed it. 30 minutes from when the wheels hit the ground. At one point we were headed straight for the terminal and then made a HUGE circle.
