boarding zone

Plane entry section

A boarding zone is a designated section of an airport gate area where passengers line up based on their assigned group number or priority status.

Airlines use boarding zones to control the flow of passengers onto aircraft: Boarding zone 3 is now welcome to board.

The system typically prioritizes first class, frequent flyers, and those needing extra time before general boarding begins.
