Interviews

Passenger was stuck in an airport for eleven hours. Was offered a meal voucher for twenty-five dollars, but was still unsatisfied because she was bored.

“I was offered food and drink during the delay which lasted three or four hours.”

Passengers’ strongest memories associated with travel are related to waiting at airports.

Interviews

“I tried to portray a friendly image to help the passengers.”

“Keeping passengers informed through various communication methods is vital.”

One of airline staff’s highest objectives is to communicate the current state of their passenger’s trip.

Interviews

“I love to share the weather and the time on the route for the passenger.”

“Sometimes they would tell jokes to comfort the passenger since we don’t deal with passengers face to face.”

Airline pilots communicate information that passengers care about in a relational way.
