departure boards

Terminal information displays

Departure boards are display panels in airports, train stations, and bus terminals showing scheduled departures—destinations, times, gate or platform numbers, and status updates.

Traditional departure boards used mechanical split-flap displays that clattered through letters and numbers; modern ones are digital screens.

I checked the departure board to see if my flight was delayed.
