  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I check in passengers everyday as well as handling upgrades and seat changes of passengers. I also handle any difficult situations such as passengers whos flights have been cancelled or delayed due to weather or air traffic controller strikes which have been happening recently over France. We also hand out vouchers to customers.

  • I have learnt new customer service skills when dealing with customers that are angry or stressed because of cancelled flights or disrupted flights. I print off tickets and boarding passes for customers that may need them so I have learnt computer skills as well as technology skills with the boarding pass printer.
