boarding area
Pre-flight waiting space
A boarding area is the section of an airport terminal where passengers wait to board their flight, typically near the gate.
Airports divide terminals into boarding areas designated by letters or numbers: We're in Boarding Area F.
The term also applies to zones where passengers board trains, buses, or ferries.
