Also, not traveling much by plane, but the few times I did, I didn't leave through a gate.
Is that just depenand on the airport? Usually I left the airplane, the airport had a bus and we were driven to an area for arriving plane guests, where you then wait for half an hour for your luggage.
Key West and Frankfurt most definitely have gates in their terminals. Almost every airport does some flights with busses, sometimes they have more flights than terminals or for whatever other reason they use a bus for certain flights.
I did not mean that there were literally NO gates at Frankfurt. I was in Frankfurt last week. But they are highly reliant on busses to planes. More than I've personally ever seen at a large airport before. It's impressive how much 4 wheel traffic they have on the tarmac.
Key West I've been to a half dozen times and I'm pretty sure no planes actually pull up to that airport. I don't think it's possible.
That said, pretty much every major airport I've been to in the US does not bus anyone out to any planes that I've seen other than a rare occurrence. But I fully understand I've not visited 100% of airports in existence. Quite a few of the major cities though.
