La tarjeta de embarque incluye la hora límite de embarque.

In Spanish, de + noun is a very common way to name what something is for or what category it belongs to.

So:

• tarjeta de embarque = boarding card / boarding pass
• literally, something like card of boarding

Using para + infinitive is possible in some contexts, but it usually sounds more like explaining a purpose rather than giving the standard name of an object. So tarjeta para embarcar would sound less natural than the fixed expression tarjeta de embarque.

Embarque is a noun. In this sentence it means boarding.

It comes from the verb embarcar, which means to board or to put on board, depending on context.

So:

• embarcar = to board
• embarque = boarding

That is why you see it twice:

• tarjeta de embarque = boarding pass
• hora límite de embarque = boarding deadline / latest boarding time

Because both are specific singular feminine nouns:

• la tarjeta
• la hora

In Spanish, articles are used more often than in English, so keeping la is very normal here.

A useful extra point: hora is feminine, so it takes la, even though it begins with h. The h is silent, but unlike words such as agua, hora still uses la, not el.

In Spanish, descriptive words usually come after the noun, not before it.

So:

• hora límite = deadline time / cutoff time
• compare with fecha límite = deadline date

Also, límite here behaves like a noun used as a label after another noun, which is very common in Spanish. That is why hora límite sounds natural.

Not exactly in the usual sense. It is originally a noun meaning limit, but in expressions like:

• fecha límite
• hora límite
• edad límite

it works almost like a label after the noun.

That is why it does not change form:

• la hora límite
• las horas límite

So yes, it describes hora, but grammatically it is better thought of as a noun used in apposition rather than a normal adjective.

It can feel repetitive to an English speaker, but it is perfectly normal in Spanish.

The first de embarque belongs to tarjeta:

• tarjeta de embarque = boarding pass

The second de embarque belongs to hora límite:

• hora límite de embarque = boarding deadline / latest boarding time for boarding

So each part has its own function. Spanish often repeats this kind of phrase where English might avoid repetition.

In context, people might shorten it and say just la hora límite, but the full version is clearer and more precise.

Incluye is the third person singular form of the verb incluir in the present tense.

So:

• yo incluyo = I include
• tú incluyes = you include
• él/ella/usted incluye = he/she/you include

Here the subject is la tarjeta de embarque, which is singular, so Spanish uses incluye:

• La tarjeta de embarque incluye...
• The boarding pass includes...

Because it follows the normal Spanish stress rules, so it does not need one.

Incluye is stressed on the second-to-last syllable:

• in-CLU-ye

Words ending in a vowel usually have stress on the second-to-last syllable by default, so no written accent is needed.

By contrast, límite does have an accent because without it, the normal stress would fall in the wrong place.

In Spain, it is pronounced roughly like:

• een-KLOO-ye

A few details:

• in- sounds like een
• clu is like kloo
• ye in most of Spain sounds like yeh or a soft j/zh-like sound depending on the speaker

So the whole word is approximately een-KLOO-ye.

The h in Spanish is silent.

So hora is pronounced roughly like:

• O-ra

not with an English h sound.

That is true in standard Spanish, including Spain.

Yes. In Spain, tarjeta de embarque is a standard and natural term for boarding pass.

You may also hear:

• pase de embarque

Both are understandable, but tarjeta de embarque is very common, especially when referring to the document or digital pass issued by the airline.

A learner should definitely recognize tarjeta de embarque as standard Spain Spanish.

Normally, no. Hora and horario are not the same.

• hora = a specific time
• horario = a schedule or timetable

Here the sentence is talking about one specific cutoff time, so hora límite is the natural expression.

Using horario límite would sound odd in this context.
