Dealing with airline agents


There are certain things that you should keep in mind while dealing with airline agents and this section tells you exactly that. You must have encountered a situation where you had to call the airline in order to get some changes made to your flight schedule. Many a times, you would have requested and even begged them to bail you out of a situation. Also, there might also be some agents who are more than willing to listen to you and go all out of the way to find a solution to your issue. Dealing with airline agents can be a task and if you can keep a few things in mind, you can smoothly sail through this and get what you want.

The first important thing is to be patient and cool. One must give adequate time and scope to the airline agent to understand your request and to work on it. Being patient also pays. One may be put on hold for some time and it is important that you keep your patience and not lose cool in such situations. One must understand that the agent might need some time to process your request and if you are patient, the agent might just go that extra mile to find a solution to your issue.

Always speak to the agent in a well behaved manner. There is no point shouting at the agent and it would certainly not help. The agent, by your shouting or your impolite tone, might just get pissed and would not extend the help that you would require at that point of time. Therefore, it is advisable to be polite in your tone while speaking to the agent.

There might also be a situation where you do not get the desired or even a satisfactory answer. In such a case, you can speak to the senior supervisor or you can also call back again and speak to another agent.

In addition to this, one must understand that airlines calls the shots and if you need to make any changes, it is they who have the authority to do it (placed higher than a travel agent). They can play around with the rules and are better placed to find solutions to tricky problems. Therefore, being polite and patient with them might just get you what you desire.
