departures hall

Where travelers leave

A departures hall is the area of an airport or major transportation terminal where passengers check in, pass through security, and wait before boarding.

It contains airline counters, gates, shops, and seating areas: We grabbed coffee in the departures hall before our flight.

Distinguished from the arrivals hall, where incoming passengers emerge.
