BetaBlockerUK,
With regard to your post #2368 I think you'll find that the reason for the VS flight parking on Stand 219 is a preference by the airline, and not at the airport's behest.
That's not quite accurate, last summer that was the deal, but as it causes so many problems the decision was reversed, it now only normally goes remote on a Sunday.
The reason it has been remote a lot recently is because of the TSA rules regarding 100% passenger searches, and they had to be segragated from other pax, the only way this could be done to get 400+ pax done was to use gate 300 and therefore park remote.
I believe something has now been sorted so normal stands can be used.
