If the flights are "Sold Out" it should say that on the Arrivals and Departures page because it looks so much better than 'cancelled.'
It shouldn’t say either. Those boards aren’t for checking whether a seat is available but for checking when they will be arriving/departing.
“Cancelled” is super-bad and definitely incorrect because it could give somebody the impression the flight is, yah know, cancelled. “Sold Out” however is also incorrect because the information that should be there is whether the flight is on-time, delayed, or, yah know, actually cancelled. Also it’s pointless for the arrivals board to indicate sold-out status; presumably the point of indicating such on the departures would be to let people know that they can’t get on that flight if they don’t already have a seat.
Of course it’s perfectly sensible for the pages relating to ticketing to indicate sold-out status.
