I have also had to use remote stands on the rare flights that land early, meaning it doesn't pay to be early.
My TUN-DXB flight ended up at the C concourse. Another oddity was my DXB-YYZ yesterday left from the C Concourse! This means I had A, B, and C gates for my flights this past month, and I got to visit each of the F lounges.
