boarding time
Flight entry hour
Boarding time is when passengers are allowed to begin entering a vehicle—typically an airplane, ship, or train.
Airlines announce boarding time on tickets and departure screens: Boarding time is 2:45 for a 3:15 departure.
The term distinguishes the moment passengers start filing aboard from the scheduled departure time.
