gate change

New boarding location

A gate change is an airport announcement that a flight will depart from a different gate than originally assigned.

Gate changes send travelers hurrying through terminals, sometimes to distant concourses: They announced a gate change twenty minutes before boarding.

The term extends to any last-minute reassignment of departure location.
