 itinerary or ticket receipt

This contains a booking number which is stored in a computer system and called a

Passenger Name Record (PNR) or reference number

2. NOT TRUE

You are floorwalking as a host in the departure hall and a passenger shows you his documents. Name how you can see whether or not he has a boarding pass!

How to recognise?

The big difference between a boardingcard and a booking confirmation or e-ticket is the barcode.

A boardingpass always contains one of these barcodes or QR codes.

Assignment:

Book LVD K2:

Read page 81 '... and do exercise 3.17

Direct the passenger to a check-in desk (service desk):

Animal Vivant in Hold

Paid options:

Besides check-in and print a boardingpass the passenger can:

• Reserve a seat (preference aisle/window, legspace, 1st row)
• Book extra bagage
• Reserve a special  meal
• Buy an upgrade

Commercial role PGSA:

• you notice a tall passenger: point out the possibility of buying a seat with legroom
• you estimate whether a passenger is interested in buying an upgrade 

Change seat preference:

A passenger often has a preference for:

• window
• aisle

A map showing the seats in the aircraft is called a seatplan or seatmap

As PGSA you know how to 'read' a seatmap, so you know how to give the passenger his seat preference.

By offering the oppurtunity for buying an exit seat you generate extra income for the airline (commercial role)

Narrow-body: 1 aisle, 2-by-2 seats

Wide-body: 2 aisles, 3-4-3 seats

• passenger operates the machine himself
• when size and weight fall within bagage allowance the bagagelabel is printed

You direct the passenger to a service desk in case of:

• oddsize bagage
• excess bagage
• when there is no payment found for check-in bagage
