Hi everyone, I had a same-day turnaround in Marid in October and I would like to ascertain which gate my aircraft used.
Per information from my airline's website and its app, I departed from T4S, Gate S35, and one of my photo taken shows that when I arrived at MAD, our adjacent gate is S37/S50 (A sign in the terminal showed this, I have no idea why 37 and 50 would be together).
However, upon checking the flightmap in FR24 & flightera, it seems that I have departed from Gate U58/U60 (top right side of T4S) instead of Gate S35 (lower left side of T4S). From my photos, I can also see a Qatar aircraft next to my aircraft when I arrived, which I assume to be QR148, and there was an Iberia 359 (IB6585) next to my aircraft when I departed. I checked FR24 and again both flights' flightmap suggested that they departed from which seems to be Gate U62/U64.
I think I'm missing some key information on the structure of MAD T4S which made me very confused. My aircraft did have a 5-hours layover time at MAD but I don't think it's very likely that it was towed to another gate during that time.
Any insight on this would be much appreciated!
Flight map of my flight
Info of IB6585 says it departed from S39 but the map shows it was in fact U62/U64
