Challenges

  • Enquiries: Most bookings (air, rail, and road) are done through Web and via Web ticketing portals. Customers visit these portals more than the airline carrier’s. Enquiries will however be met by these. But the real concern is how updated are these portals? Do they provide information on cancelled flights? Offers on tariffs? Off-season and on-season flights? New routes? New timings?
  • Customer experience: Apart from in-flight experience, customers expect that other aspects that make a journey, is as good if not better. For example, booking experience, on ground experience, query handling, food choice, loyalty programs, and flight experience among others.

    In case of stop-over and transit flights, first time flyers need to be given sufficient information for ensuring a smooth and a hassle free flight.

  • Baggage information: Customers on international flights are always worried about their baggage. In case of loss of luggage and other items, is there a dedicated agent to take care of customer queries?
  • Arrivals & departures: Customers need to know in advance about their flight – arrival time, departure time, cancellation, alternate arrangements in case of a cancellation, and update on flights.
  • Customer identification: Frequent customers have to repeat their contact details every time they call. This increases call handling time for these vendors and cost increases.
  • Status update: Once the taxi / cab is booked, updates on vehicle number, mobile number of the driver, time and location of pick up need to be provided just before the pickup time.
  • Customer in queue: Customers often wait in queue for an agent to attend to him / her. This makes it frustrating for customers and often leads to churn
