> Airport boards are conveniently sorted by departure time.
Not true always. Often I see them sorted alphabetically by Destination, then time (in west coast US). Or occasionally (in middle east) by Airline Name & then Time. All Qatar Airlines together. Sometimes even whole LCD Labeled (digitally, on screen) as A-E, F-M etc. and a bit frustrating way, because often I know my flight destination, but not precise time (& sometimes time shifts around), sorted by pure time.
- thaumasiotes 2y ago> Not true always Except that you go on to describe boards being sorted by time? They may also sort by destination or airline, which are the other pieces of information that I noted passengers already know. You can't use an airport without knowing your departure time and airline, and while it's technically possible to use the airport without knowing your destination (sort of... in point of fact, whenever I check in, the clerk invariably asks me where my final destination is), that's not a scenario that's ever going to come up. Nobody knows their flight number, and therefore they don't use it for any purpose, including the purpose of identifying their flight. > and a bit frustrating way, because often I know my flight destination, but not precise time (& sometimes time shifts around), sorted by pure time. What's the frustrating part? If you don't know the precise time, why does that matter? Knowing it to within an hour will unambiguously identify the flight.
