It’s 10:50 pm and we’ve been taxiing for 20 minutes because the other aircraft hasn’t vacated. When did DCA become an airport with ONE GATE?????

Always happens late night at DCA. They’re not really waiting for the gate to clear. They’re waiting for the gate agents, ramp crew, and baggage handlers to wake up from their naps.

When I lived in dc this happened at least 2x a week

DCA has always been this way. It’s tiny AF.

Happens in Seattle regularly; many weeks where we waited 35 minutes for the gate to clear

didn't know your majesty was arriving by tonight's flight. ground crew had to go home thus making multiple gates unavailable.

Must have hired an ops director that worked at SFO. 😂

Wait why are you traveling on a Monday night?

There are a lot of reasons why this could be happening.
1. Personal travel
2. Day trip
3. Monday night travel to client site
4. Client site A to Client site B
probably more.... There are alternatives to the traditional M-Th schedule and I hope I never work for you

Lol 20 minutes... I feel like I get stuck on the tarmac at LAX for 30+ minutes at least once a month. Who’s got 40?

Oof, O’Hare in the winter is a nightmare. I was in a 40+ plane line for takeoff once. The worst is when you fall asleep before takeoff only to wake up and find yourself still waiting to takeoff.
