boarding passes

Gate entry slips

Boarding passes are documents that grant access to a flight, typically showing the passenger's name, flight number, seat assignment, and departure gate.

Originally paper tickets issued at check-in, they now commonly appear as digital codes on smartphones: I pulled up my boarding pass on my phone.

Security and gate agents scan them to verify travel authorization.
