Ever wondered what really happens behind the airline counter when flights are delayed, passengers are furious, or everything somehow runs on time? In this episode of Ije The World of Travel, host Tony Doe sits down with a seasoned airline customer service representative to pull back the curtain on the fast-paced, unpredictable reality of airport operations. From chaotic check-in rushes and ramp-side safety checks to turning angry missed-flight meltdowns into calm resolutions, she shares raw stories of empathy, patience, and professionalism under pressure. Discover how a forgotten email from a son sparked a near-chaotic confrontation, why "the customer is always right" doesn't fly in aviation, and what superior service truly means when weather, maintenance, or contracts collide with travel plans. Plus, candid advice for aspiring aviation pros: come with a game plan, expect zero respect on tough days, and protect your mental health in a role that demands grace amid chaos. Looking ahead, she envisions a safer Nigerian sky through airline-airport partnerships and passengers who ask questions instead of assuming. A must-listen for frequent flyers, travel enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the human side of keeping promises in motion. Note: To protect her employment and comply with company policy, the guest's identity and airline affiliation have been withheld.
