boarding pass

Gate entry document

A boarding pass is a document issued by an airline that permits a passenger to board a specific flight.

It shows the passenger's name, flight number, departure time, gate, and seat assignment.

Originally paper tickets, boarding passes are now often digital, displayed on smartphones: I pulled up my boarding pass at security.
