Everytime I've been to the 'new' BKK Airport, which admittedly is only twice in the last 12 months we've arrived on a remote stand and had to disembark via the stairs then take a bus to the terminal entrance.
The first time was a TG A330 flight from PEK arriving about 2100 & the second time was the TG BNE/BKK B777 flight which was scheduled to arrived 2020 however we touched down some 40 mins early.
The most recent time there appeared to be heaps of av available aerobridges.
Is there any rhyme or reason to when your flight will arrive at an aerobridge vs stairs?
Are stand-off bays primarily used for arrivals rather than departures. Both times I've departed BKK on TG473 to BNE on a 773 & QR833 to DOH on a 388 have been from the E & C gates respectively.
Just interested in others' experiences.
