Spanish term or phrase: mostrador de embarque preferente
One of the benefits for frequent flyers.

My query here is whether this is a preferential boarding 'desk' or just preferential boarding? I thought initially it was 'preferential check-in desk' but then that would be 'facturación'.

preferential boarding desk
Explanation:
Yes, "desk" should be in the translation, they write "mostrador de embarque preserente", they must mean it - unless you have evidence to the contrary.

And you are right, not "check-in", that would be "facturación".

Thanks, Carlos - I wennt for 'preferential' in the end as they used 'prioridad' futher on in the text for something else so I stuck to the original translation of 'preferencial' and 'prioridad'. Thanks to all for the help.
