priority boarding

First to enter

Priority boarding is the privilege of boarding an airplane before general passengers, typically granted to first-class travelers, frequent flyers, or those who pay extra.

Airlines use it as both a perk and a revenue stream: Priority boarding costs an extra $25 each way.

The main advantage is guaranteed overhead bin space.
