Narrative:
Arrival in bos to gate. Another air carrier X aircraft parked too close to our gate to allow me to line up with the gate. Taxied the aircraft the best I could and maintained clearance. Ended up about 20 degrees off the taxi line. Talked to the other ground personnel after. They stated that they had no other place to park their aircraft.
