Arrived at AMS from DXB last monday and was a bit surprised at the ground handling. Is this normal for emirates?
1. The plane was parked on the apron so far away from the terminal that Haarlem seemed to be closer
2. Disembarking via stairs, minor nuisance for me but a lady walking with crutches (who counted on a bridge into the terminal) had to be helped down and into the bus by me and another passenger while cabin crew and ground staff were looking bemused but didn't lift a finger
3. Business class packed like sardines into a bus, I'm used to Schiphol buses because I fly a lot of cityhopper but it seems such a stark contrast with the chauffeur driven Mercedes at he start of the journey
4. Waiting 55 minutes from the plane landing to the first luggage on the belt.

Is this common? #2 especially bothered me.
