How many airports still have flip-tab signs? Do they need to stay? Aren't they adding to an already noisy area? What's their maintenance cost vs. a LCD? What's their energy consumption vs. a LCD?

- lotsoweiners 2y agoI do. I was just traveling about a month ago and the gate info had changed on the monitor but not on my phone and this was both ways. I always check the monitor and use that as the system of record over my phone.
- ricketyricky 2y agoI do. "The phone" is just another hassle one doesn't want to take care of on long-distance travel. Paper tickets just work, can't say that for the login for travel / rewards apps when you think you were already logged in when being offline.
- OJFord 2y agoSame problem on LCD/with the font you use though - those displays are dense, and designed around room for 'AB1234'. Confusing to have it scroll when it already rotates into some other information too.
- selimthegrim 2y agoI think Russia still does.
- gumby 2y agoI don’t know about the USA but there are likely millions of them deployed around the world, and working fine.
- antonkochubey 2y ago>What's their energy consumption vs. a LCD? Zero when they're not flipping, and close to zero when they are. Even under direct sunlight, to overcome which LCDs need >100W / square meter.
