Yah I was curious cause I looked on the United website for my flight and it says "92"
Yep, that's a new gate all the way at the end of the pier. See my big red arrow:

It's a bit confusing. There's 24 gates from 70-95, and the letter before it changes depending on where the flight is going. So gate 73 for example is C73 if it's domestic, D73 if it's international, and E73 if it's transborder, but it's the same physical gate.

That reminds me of campsites :P

To be fair, WestJet and Air Canada have domestic flights departing out of this allegedly international terminal so there has been some confusion, not to mention this stupid lettering system for gates that YYC insists on butchering.

I was aware of the D and E gates being switchable, but didn't realize that they are also doing some as C.
I can't even begin to imagine how this works, logistically. E passengers require US customs pre-clearance, but D obviously don't. Can the airport physically isolate those gates to keep the E passengers separate from D? How does that even happen on the fly as needed?
Terminal 3 (I think) at Paris CDG is literally like portables. Not a single fresh food option.
I had the audacity to think that I'd be able to get Starbucks/Costa/McDonalds/Anything before my international flight out of Paris.
France I tell ya
I have a hard time believing CDG is worse than the international terminal at SFO is. As of two years ago, they had a crappy sandwich shop, a crappy artisan pizza shop, and four places selling women's handbags.

The D & E concourses are on top of each other. If you're flying to the US, you enter US Customs on the main level, then go up an escalator to the E Concourse level after you clear customs. Gates can be accessed from either level after going through the check-in counter. The only space they share is the jetway to the plane, which would never be used by two planes at the same time.
