boarding group
A boarding group is a system airlines use to organize passengers when it’s time to board the plane. Instead of boarding everyone all at once, passengers are placed into groups, often indicated by numbers or letters. These groups typically allow for a smoother boarding process, reducing crowding and wait times. Passengers are called to board in a specific order, often based on ticket class, frequent flyer status, or the time of check-in. This helps ensure that the plane fills up efficiently while also providing some priority to those who have paid for enhanced services.
