jet bridges
Plane-to-terminal tunnels
Jet bridges are the enclosed, movable walkways that connect airport terminals to aircraft doors, allowing passengers to board and exit without going outside.
Also called jetways or passenger boarding bridges.
We waited in the jet bridge while the cabin was prepared.
The alternative is walking across the tarmac and climbing stairs.
