Frequently, you end up waiting on the tarmac for a gate slot.
My flights rarely arrive early but are usually close to on time. We usually sit on the tarmac waiting to take off for 30-40 minutes in MSP and about 20-30 sometimes in Phoenix. In MSP one day we were 23rd in line to take off. And this was after the 15 minute taxi to get in line. We backed away from the gate early and when we took off it was 45 minutes later. Not HPs fault, mind you but ate away at our early arrival.
