gate number

Terminal departure designation

A gate number identifies a specific departure point at an airport terminal where passengers board their flight.

Gate numbers typically combine letters and digits: Our flight leaves from gate B12.

They appear on boarding passes and departure screens, and may change before boarding: Check the monitors—gate numbers sometimes get reassigned.
