Unfortunately not

Honestly no. Although if you asked the people irked by it they would tell you their routes are 'targeted' as remote gate routes

I used to think that an A380 flight would have priority for a gate. Until my flight one day from ICN (an A380 flight) was sent to a remote site while multiple B777s were using gates at the B concourse....

Probably a long shot but I have 2 trips and between each I will be staying airside in the hotel.
1.Arriving 777 and departing 777.
2.Arriving 380 departing 777
Could be remote stand or airbridge,
Question.
In which concourse would you book your hotel? Or book B as it is in the middle!

Like ET, I would book A. There is no way of knowing where the flights will arrive or depart from. If it's long enough to justify the hotel, you may not even know when you land which concourse your onward flight will use.

One time I had booked the A hotel but landed at B. I was really tired due to complicated circumstances, so the hotel employee who met me at the gate asked if I wanted to change, then he made a call and had the reservation transferred to the B hotel. @:-)
