ads instead of useful info

It rotates and after some minutes shows the departure times. But if you’re in hurry you want the time immediately, not after a while

    Its annoying as hell but I guess I don’t really see a meaningful impact. Yes, not everyone has a cell phone. But… I would say anyone who is flying doesn’t have an excuse of poverty.

    And basically every single airport has “free” wifi these days. So either install the app or open the web page to get up to date info. Because there are countless stories of people who missed their flights because they were waiting at the original gate and somehow ignored everyone around them getting up and walking away when the gate changed.

    Also: My excuse with departure boards has always been that EVERYONE crowds in front of it to have long conversations or “just stand there” and it is a shitshow anyway.

    So yeah. Would REALLY prefer it to not be just even more ads being shoved down our throats. But this very much feels more like phasing out phone booths than anything else.
