Barcelona–El Prat Advertising: DOOH by the Hour (BCN)

The traffic signature

How BCN actually flows

From Blindspot's airport audience-flow modelling: hourly indices distributing the operator's verified annual totals across documented peak patterns. Honest models, not invented sensor counts — no airport publishes hourly headcounts.

A long daytime window with an early ramp

Point-to-point leisure flying (Vueling, Ryanair, easyJet — ~800 departures a day) concentrates traffic from an early-morning ramp through a strong evening, without a transfer-driven midday lull.

Security peaks 6–9 AM and 5–8 PM

Those are the high-dwell choke points; immigration runs waves through morning, midday, and evening.

Friday PM and Sunday evening are gold

Leisure rhythm: Tuesday/Wednesday run lightest, weekend shoulders run heaviest — book accordingly.
