Dealing with a passenger's frustration over a flight delay. How can you ease their emotional turmoil?

Inform, inform, inform. The biggest frustration passengers face is not knowing what's happening. If it's no news, or even bad news, it's still better than not knowing.

Compreender o impacto que esses atrasos têm na vida das pessoas — desde a perda de conex?es e compromissos importantes até o aumento do estresse — motiva a trabalhar com mais dedica??o. Priorizar a seguran?a e eficiência, colaborar estreitamente com a equipe e buscar melhorias contínuas s?o formas de assegurar que os passageiros se sintam respeitados e cuidados, mesmo em situa??es desafiadoras. Essa abordagem n?o só melhora a experiência dos passageiros, mas também refor?a o compromisso com a excelência no servi?o aéreo.

Continuous communication and must be transparent staff engaged during this situation must be fully updated and well informed.

I understand the frustration that comes with flight delays. It's important to acknowledge the passenger's feelings and empathize with their situation. You can offer them options such as rebooking on another flight, providing meal vouchers, or arranging accommodations if necessary. Keeping them informed about the situation and the steps being taken to resolve the delay can also help ease their frustration. Additionally, offering a sincere apology and providing excellent customer service can go a long way in calming their emotional turmoil.

In such difficult situations, the passengers are the company's representatives, and it is crucial to be well trained on how to handle them. Giving timely and, most importantly, valid and accurate information about what's happening, the reason for the delay, what options are available, and, of course, taking care of any immediate needs of the passengers, are very important. People need to know what is going on, and not just once, so continuing information about any updates at sensible time intervals might not ease their worries, but at least they will make them feel that you know what you are doing and that you respect their need for information.?

Clear and frequent communication helps manage expectations and can significantly improve the passenger experience during delays.

Uma comunica??o objetiva evita mal-entendidos, reduz a ansiedade dos passageiros e permite que eles tomem decis?es informadas sobre suas viagens. Além disso, uma abordagem transparente e direta reflete profissionalismo e respeito pelo tempo dos passageiros, contribuindo para uma experiência de viagem mais tranquila e confiável.

We need to be practical and empathetic on their situation, however it won’t be able to solve or soothe his current loss on some uncontrollable delay.

Many a times we offer them refreshments and other options available and listen them carefully. There is always some practical ways which we can offer and show our pax to calm the anger of the delay pax.

The first thing when encountering a delay is that passengers want to be connected to give updates to friends and family. It also keeps them at bay from feeling anxious by momentarily taking their mind off the delay. Finding ways that they can be connected also allows them to make prior arrangements following the flight delay, especially at their destination.

Stay connected and true information about delay agree to next flight with some compensation it will be help for your working

We must have plan B for all such situations as the pax will be calm to know that we are concerned with their loss and we are ready to tackle their situation with an alternative best suited issue .

All passengers may not be point to point only. Some of them might have onward connections which may be missed due to delay in the flight. In such situation rearrange their onward connection and inform them accordingly

Anticipación: Cualquier demora significativa puede ser anticipada por un equipo de trabajo en donde las líneas de comunicación se mantengan abiertas. Esto permitirá preparar una estrategia de atención personalizada a aquellos pasajeros que se verán afectados con mayor impacto, lo que a su vez se traducirá en niveles de ansiedad controlados y capacidad de respuesta para los usuarios acordes a las exigencias de ley y necesidades de cada uno.

The most important thing when dealing with a frustrated passenger is to sympathise with him/her. Trying to understand and listen what is the ground of their bad experiences is the key. There could be anything, from being badly treated at check-in to personal issues or last bad experiences while travelling. Simply anything may be a trigger for a passenger to get frustrated. But if you as a cabin crew - during the flight, as you may obviously have much longer to get along with your guests, spend that bit more extra time with that particular passenger, it may become the only thing they needed - to be listened to, empathy and understanding. During my career as a cabin crew I had a sheer pleasure to turn a frustrated passenger into a loyal one.
