Quick Answer
Clarify the customer's question, verify the relevant booking or current official information, explain what is known, and give a specific next step without guessing.
1. Listen and clarify
Ask what the customer is trying to do and what message or status they see. Confirm key details without requesting unnecessary sensitive information.
2. Check before answering
Use the booking record or current official source relevant to the question. If you cannot verify a fee, rule, or timeline, say so and help the customer find the right source.
3. Give a clear next step
Use short, direct language. Explain what the customer can do next, which reference to keep, and where to follow up if the issue continues.
4. Close with a record
Note the query and the guidance given using your normal secure process. This helps maintain continuity if the customer returns.
