How it's used
Focuses specifically on the act of entering the aircraft rather than the entire process of checking in at the airport. It is a formal term often heard in airport announcements or seen on digital signage, whereas in casual conversation, people might simply say 上機.
Examples
Boarding has started now, please have your passport ready.
What time do you need to board the plane?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with checking in at the counter, which is 辦理登機手續 or simply check-in. Using 登機 to mean checking in will cause confusion as it specifically refers to the final step of walking onto the plane.
