How is J/F bus boarding supposed to actually work?
Last week to HKG we left by bus from C15 rather than from the downstairs remote gates, presumably due to the aircraft size. F called first, and we were directed to a freezing cold bus that sat there for 30min while a dozen other buses were loaded with Y/J and sent off. Boarded the plane last, door shut immediately after. PDB service was rushed. I can't imagine QR actually thinks F/J passengers would prefer to sit in the gate area or a bus over their seat on the plane enjoying a drink? (Especially an F seat).
