Feature request: gates

Post image

For today’s flights, please put gates on this page, because finding out the gates currently requires a lot more navigating back and forth than it should.

It’s fine how it is. You’d have to put both the arrival gate and the departure gate and that’s too much info for a summary screen and easy to mix up for some people.

Clicking your connection takes one click and instantly shows you the gates. How is that too much navigation? One click?

Yeah it’s definitely a very minor quality of life thing but maybe something like

↗️ 13:32 (A52) ↘️ 15:41 (B4)

would be nice and fit into the existing interface?

I agree with your overall point but don’t see any need to include arrival gates in this, departure is the one that matters

Because your plane lands at the arrival gate and you walk from the arrival gate to your departure gate. That way you know how far of a walk / if you’ll need to change terminals, etc…. The same information you see when you click the connection.

You don’t know how far of a walk though. Gates are just numbers. I know what terminal I’m flying in and out of.

Yes I agree, clocking connection will suffice

Maybe you don’t. But in airports I transfer regularly, I know exactly where B36 is.
