pre-boarding
Priority passenger entry
Pre-boarding is the period before general boarding begins, when airlines allow passengers needing extra time or assistance to board first—families with small children, wheelchair users, those with disabilities.
The term is slightly absurd since pre-boarding is still boarding, just earlier: Pre-boarding will begin in five minutes.
