preboarded
Entered plane first
Preboarded describes passengers who have already boarded before general boarding begins.
Airlines preboard travelers needing extra time or assistance—those with disabilities, families with small children, or premium passengers: We preboarded with the toddler.
The word also appears in George Carlin's famous routine mocking airline jargon, questioning how one can "get on before you get on."
