ive had incredibly bad luck with longhauls departing A10 since i started flying again in sept. i dont know if they push those to a bus gate because initially the flights were not that full, but it is a very annoying way to start such a long journey than schlepping up those steps to a 777 and more often than not a harried crew trying to pull things together as it seems they were not on board more than a few mins before pax.
