At airports, are the gates decided in advance based on the timetable, maintenance etc, or on the day by the control tower?
What are the factors which determine whether a walkway/steps/buses are used?
Also, am I right in thinking the more distant gates are cheaper for airlines to use, hence why EasyJet are 'over the bridge' at Gatwick North?
Finally, are there any locations where the cabin crew do ground handling such as checking in pax before working the flight itself- seem to remember I saw this done at a smaller airport a few years ago.
