Ditto on all points. There is nothing more frustrating than coming in from SFO and having to wait an extra 15 minutes to taxi because we landed on the north runways. I have landed on the 25s very rarely but the time savings is fairly significant.

What have your experiences been with LAX-SFO or SEA? I find that those takeoffs are done on the north runways most of the time as well. But the taxi time is not as significant since the 25 aprons are further east than the 24.
