A few years back many airports in US had international flights but
very few stands for inbounds (aircraft were towed to a domestic stand for departures)
Minneapolis was one which only had 2 stands (now changed) but if 3 flights arrived at similar time
chaos followed and we were dumped miles from the main airport and had to make our own way
on a local bus from outside terminal which took over 30 minutes to get to main terminal
for our onward domestic flight.
