This is very bad advice. At many airports your aircraft could be on a remote stand and you will be bused to it. Also, what if you go by this guys advice and the arrival screen is wrong? Also, what if, like others have said, the aircraft is being towed to the gate? Unless you're told otherwise by staff, always go by the screens.

Plan B is to detonate the nuke.

This tip couldn't be more wrong. At large airports, arriving flights are often towed off the gate after passengers have disembarked so the plane can be groomed since gate space is very valuable. The aircraft used for departing may be towed from a different spot at the airport about 30 minutes before you board.

I alway check at departure gate when someone is at the counter way before time is due. Found out the new departure gate had change and it take 15 min. to get to another gate on another side of building. So check your departure gate counter to make sure you are at the right place and time. Don't wait last min.

This is nonsense. On sometime occassions, planes are parked at gates for departure hours in advance of the flight.
Also, what is Plan B, don't go to the departure gate?

Holes in the tip: 1. Arrivals are deleted off a board approx 1-2 hours after landing and sometimes even sooner. 2. Sometimes planes are taxied into a gate with a tug from a hanger or another gate. 3. Maybe the gate change has not been updated on the board just yet, patience is a virtue. Airports are not an exact science, a plane may have been at the gate for a long time (overnight), and is therefore not on the arrivals board. Not a good tip to follow....all it will cause is unnecessary stress.
