boarding bridge
Plane-to-terminal tunnel
A boarding bridge is the enclosed, movable walkway connecting an airport terminal to an aircraft door, allowing passengers to board and disembark without going outside.
Also called a jet bridge or jetway.
We waited in the boarding bridge while they prepared the cabin.
