Beep, and Onward to the Bridge I pushed my card forward, watching as the agent positioned the barcode with precision beneath the scanner. With a sharp beep, the device approved me with a bright checkmark before the agent returned my card. I nodded my thanks and advanced onto the jet bridge, where chilled air drifted from hidden vents. The metallic path lightly trembled under the weight of rolling luggage ahead. A pair stopped briefly to capture a selfie, then resumed their pace. I adjusted the straps of my backpack and continued along the gradual bend toward the open aircraft door.

Curious passengers in the tunnel turned, as the interaction disrupted our progress. I continued forward, gripping the railing, widening the distance between us. The constant draft in the jet bridge caused my jacket to flutter.
