About Boarding Gate
Boarding Gate recreates the split-flap departure board, with the clatter of its flaps, for every airport in the world, on a phone, a laptop or a TV.
The flights are a typical day at each airport, made from its real airlines and routes; at US airports, flights within the US follow the airlines’ real timetables. Nothing is live, so don’t catch a plane by it.

No accounts, no advertising.
Only if you accept, Google Analytics counts visits and which buttons are used, with cookies. It sees which airport’s board you open, never your location or your flight. If you reject, it never loads; change your mind any time with Cookie settings below.
Your location stays on your device. It is used only to list the nearest airports first, and only once you allow it.
Your device remembers the airport you chose, your sound settings and your cookie choice. Nothing is sent to us. Clear my data removes it all.
Everything the page uses (fonts, sounds, airline logos) comes from this site; the only other site it contacts is Google Analytics, if you accept.
If an announcement’s recording can’t play, your browser’s own voice reads it out instead; some browsers do that online.
Like any website, our host keeps standard request logs.
