How to read the board

Reading the departures board at Heraklion Airport

The board for Heraklion Airport uses a handful of status messages: scheduled means no change, expected or estimated gives the updated time, landed appears when the aircraft touches down, and delayed marks a later time than planned. After landing, passengers need a while longer to reach the arrivals hall, because bags have to be delivered and non-Schengen arrivals pass through passport control.

One flight can appear under two numbers when airlines sell seats on each other's services.
