terminal building
Gate waiting area
A terminal building is the main structure at an airport or bus station where passengers check in, wait, and board their transport.
The term distinguishes the building itself from runways, parking areas, or other facilities: We met at the terminal building and grabbed coffee before our flight.
Often shortened to just terminal.
