This is very common even in smaller airports when an airline doesn't want to pay for the more expensive placement at the tube, as far as I understand. Also some airports have a road for airport vehicles just between the building and plane parking position, and don't allow people to walk to the plane for security reasons.
Feels like most of my flights start with a bus to the plane.
- mcv 9y agoReally? For me it was a first. At Schiphol, all planes park at the tube. I've been to other countries where they don't have a tube at all, and there we left the plane by a stair and walked across the tarmac to the (usually very small) arrivals building.
