Thanks!

But doesn't our plane boards in a few minutes sound like our plane is boarding something...

Plus I checked the dictionary for boards and there's no meaning that would make this sentence grammatically correct.

Please verify. Thank you.

Boards is just another form of the verb. Its meaning doesn’t change. Check another dictionary.

That is not a matter of grammatical correctness.
