Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries the electronic display is called a “panel de salidas” or “tablero de salidas”. The wording is neutral, so it works in both formal (e.g., airport staff) and informal (friend helping a traveler) contexts. Remember that in some regions people may say “pizarra de salidas” for older, non‑digital boards.
