ההגדרה המילונית של "עלייה למטוס" יכולה להשתנות בהתאם להקשר, אך הנה כמה הגדרות אפשריות:
1. Was Lorraine finally boarding the next car to South Campus?
2. I fidgeted, watching the traffic instead, the ordinary streets, shops, chattering people boarding red buses, thronging the pavements.
3. I sneak one last look down the airport corridor, even check for footprints, shake my head and hand the gate attendant my boarding pass.
4. It was tireless, thankless work, and the greatest rewards I got for my efforts were lukewarm soup, half a roll of bread of questionable freshness, and the shackles around my wrists tightened slightly less when I went to sleep every night in that dingy shack they called a boarding house.
5. The boarding room always grew stifling with so many bodies crammed inside.
6. So imagine my surprise when I heard the squeak of the rusty hinges and the muffled jingling of manacles as someone else stepped out of the unlocked boarding house.
7. Attended boarding school in leafy Surrey, excelling in all your subjects.
8. How could the simple, affectionate landlady of a boarding establishment explain such a phenomenon?
9. They needed boarding passes to escort the kids through security.
10. Jeff handed their boarding passes to the passenger agent.
