boarding group

Airplane loading segment

A boarding group is an assigned number or letter that determines when passengers board an airplane.

Airlines divide travelers into groups to manage the flow onto the aircraft: Boarding group C will now begin boarding.

Assignment depends on fare class, loyalty status, or check-in time, with earlier groups getting first access to overhead bin space.
