Departure Aircraft are parked in special places outside the terminal building. Each parking place has a gate number. Passengers wait in the departure lounge until their flight is called. While waiting they may have something to eat or drink or they may do some shopping. When their flight is called, passengers go to their gate. Here their boarding passes and passports are checked and they are allowed onto the plane. As passengers enter the aircraft, airline staff check their boarding passes again. They count the passengers to make sure no-one is missing.
