Send Rebecca the re-ticketed flight confirmation email within 24 hours with the new Air France itinerary (flights 1643 and 74 on Oct 28) and seat assignments, then ensure the guest relations team contacts her the same day with Geneva hotel quotes for the night of October 27th so the accommodation can be locked in before she receives her final cruise documents.

Full analysis
What happened
Rebecca called because Air France unilaterally moved her October 27 departure from Geneva to Raleigh Durham three days earlier, making it impossible for her to join her river cruise. This is the third airline schedule change she's experienced in 2024 (after American and British Airways cancellations). Ashley located her booking, confirmed the original Air France flight no longer operated on the 27th, identified a one-stop option on October 28th (vs two-stop on the 27th), and rebooked her on flights 1643 (Geneva–Paris) and 74 (Paris–RDU) with exit-row premium economy seats. Rebecca also needed to arrange an extra night in Geneva, which Ashley agreed to escalate to the guest relations department. The call ended with Rebecca committed to the new itinerary and awaiting Ashley's email with re-ticketed confirmation.
Emotional read
Rebecca started frustrated and slightly resigned—this is her third airline rebooking in one year—but gradually warmed as Ashley systematically worked through the options. By mid-call she was engaged and collaborative, even making light jokes ('maybe the third time's the charm'). She ended the call confident and appreciative, referring to the team by first names and expressing willingness to contact them again if needed.
Emotional arc through the call
Started cautiously frustrated (third rebooking in one year) but gradually became collaborative and even lighthearted as Ashley systematically resolved each detail, ending the call confident and appreciative.
How customer sees Pavlus
- positive · referred to Taylor by name as someone who 'will set me up somewhere' and expressed confidence in the team's ability to handle accommodations
- positive · acknowledged familiarity with multiple Pavlus staff (Jennifer, Michael, Ashley) and implied comfort asking for them by name for future support
- neutral · no explicit praise or criticism of Pavlus's process; treated the rebooking as routine part of cruise/trip package management
Process friction
- customer has had to rebook flights three separate times in one year (American, British Airways, now Air France), suggesting either systemic vendor reliability issues or unclear upfront communication about airline schedule risk
- customer paid for seat selection and upgrades on previous failed bookings and was uncertain whether those fees would transfer or be refunded to the new flights
Value perception
Rebecca did not explicitly state a view on Pavlus's value vs. alternatives, but her behavior—calling back repeatedly, naming staff members, accepting the rebooking process smoothly, and delegating follow-up tasks—suggests she views Pavlus as her trusted agent for handling these complications rather than managing airlines directly.
Customer behaviors
methodically comparing specific flight options and articulating seat/routing preferencesreferencing prior rebookings and learned expectations (knows the drill with airline schedule changes)delegating secondary task (hotel) to specialist team rather than solving it herselfverifying details multiple times and reading confirmation numbers aloud to ensure accuracymaking light jokes to manage frustration (third time's the charm)

Agent (Ashley Major): Hi, this is Ashley, with the publish traveler department. How can I help? Customer: Good morning Ashley. This is Rebecca Oliver calling. I am going on a to river boat cruise in October in my airfare. Nice people of this was air France sent me an email this morning, I guess through the night that said we're not available to fly that day. We're gonna move you up three days and send you home then. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, no. Customer: So that is not good cause one, I won't be even in that location that way. So, obviously, I need to change my current airfare error arrangements. And when I went out and looked at the air France they no longer fly from this would have me in Geneva needing to get back to Raleigh Durham and they no longer fly that day on a Tuesday but they do on a Wednesday. So maybe I can push it out today and I'll just stay an extra day in Geneva. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay. Gotcha. Yeah, let's definitely take a look at this. Did you happen to have your booking number by chance? Customer: I have a reservation number here. I don't hope this will help you. This has the El on the top but G. Sorry, Q-G-N, as in Nancy, six, A., 14005, does that help you? Agent (Ashley Major): Alright. Let me see. Oh, we can definitely take a look here. Customer: Let me see if I have a different number in the pat paper. No, that's the confirmation on the palace paper too. Customer: Can I read that to you one more time? Agent (Ashley Major): Yeah, go ahead. Customer: Q. As in quack, G-N. As in Nancy, six A. 14005. Agent (Ashley Major): Let me see. Agent (Ashley Major): And the last name is Oliver, correct? Customer: It is. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay. Let me see if I can just find it. Customer: This is the only number I see here. I'm just looking to see if there's any other number on any of this paperwork. Customer: That is the only confirmation number that seems to, excuse me, to show up. If there's something different on the airfare number. Let's. Customer: I have a reservation number on the airfare number that's different? Agent (Ashley Major): Okay, I got that one. Customer: It's HEW FX J. Agent (Ashley Major): That should definitely be let me see. Customer: And that's what air, France? Agent (Ashley Major): Okay, perfect. Yup, that one definitely pulls. Let me go ahead and get my system up here so we can see what we can do. Customer: This is, I just want you know, we already did this one when I was supposed to be flying American and British are and they no longer fly this location this day. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Customer: So this is already a rebook of a rebook? Agent (Ashley Major): Yeah, definitely pretty intense here. Okay, I do see that schedule change here on our end. Let me just see. Agent (Ashley Major): It should definitely be allowed, I just wanna double-check their fair rules before we do anything here. Customer: Yeah, they're changing the day on me to start with, so. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm oh, yeah, pretty significant. I can't imagine that they wouldn't allow any changes. I just wanna make sure we don't forget anything here. Customer: Cause they don't even fly home from that on that day when I, when I need to come home. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay. Agent (Ashley Major): Double-check. Customer: I'm not the only one that's called in with the problem like this today so far. Agent (Ashley Major): With air France in particular, yes, that I have heard of. Let's see. Customer: Delta dropped me on, I'm going on another trip in December. They dropped me too so I'm not pan it to this time when it's happened cause this is the third one I'm rescheduling for the end of this year so I knew what to do this. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, no. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Sure. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay, perfect. That's allowed. Agent (Ashley Major): Should definitely be good to look at that. So let me see it's original date was the twenty seventh, we'll just take a brief look. I don't think there is anything, but just to be safe, let's, yeah. Customer: Go ahead, they're but they according to what I could see they're not flying that day, so they actually recommend it to either go before or a day two days before or the day after so. Agent (Ashley Major): Let me see. Agent (Ashley Major): Let me see. Agent (Ashley Major): This was the 405. So, I am still showing flights in our system with air France on the twenty seventh. Let's see. Oh, 45. Customer: From Geneva. Agent (Ashley Major): Yeah from Geneva back to RDU. I'm still showing availability on some other schedules. This one in particular, air force, flight forty I think it might have just been that second leg, the long hall from a Paris to Detroit. It looks like that might have been the one that was canceled. Customer: Okay. Customer: Well, the one I found for the next day goes from Geneva to Charles Toa and then Charles right back to RDU. So if you can find that on the Tuesday I can do that but I don't think the one from Geneva leaves in time. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, I see. Okay, so this one, so, okay that's likely what happened then. Yeah, everything on the twenty seventh does have at least two stops if you are one in one stop I do see some of those one stops available on the twenty eighth let me see. Customer: Yeah, the flight 1643 and then flight 74. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes, that one I do show, and let me just check that it's available. Let's see, an A. class. Okay. Yeah, so this one would definitely be available here, I think we can go down to T. on this one. Okay. Yeah, so it looks like you were just in economy, so we should be able to rebook you on that one stop on the twentieth if that's what you would prefer to do. Customer: I was in, I should be in premium economy. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, let me double-check that then. Let's see. Customer: Yeah, I mean, and I paid for the upgrade and I paid for the seat selection even on these other two flights already. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm okay, so let's go back here. So, it was the air flight forty, this was eight class. Customer: Should be C. I had fourteen A. and fourteen C. it was supposed to be premium economy. Agent (Ashley Major): Yeah, that I actually, okay, I do show premium on the air. Let me just go ahead and see if a different class of premium is available on this one. Customer: My husband's 64 he does not fit in a regular economy seat. Agent (Ashley Major): Definitely. Customer: So, therefore, all his extra legs and up in my space I'm 59 I don't have a lot of extra space to give him and I, it's not very comfortable let's just put it that way. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, for sure. Agent (Ashley Major): Like we can try. Agent (Ashley Major): Let's see. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes, so it looks like this is available in premium. Let me just check the short leg. Agent (Ashley Major): If that has economy. Okay, yeah, so Geneva to Paris. Agent (Ashley Major): I am showing that one would be in economy, let me just double-check if we can grab these seats here. Customer: Right, and now I did pay for seats already on the other one. So hopefully they will let us transfer that either. Refund me the money that they did and I'll repurchase seat. Agent (Ashley Major): Yeah, it's not showing me the seat charge on these new flights but if there is a charge for them what we would be able to do mm-hmm. Customer: Cause I need an extra, yeah, I need an extra leg room row like either an exit row or something. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, okay. Let me see. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay, so definitely exit right there and let me check a arris. Customer: Yeah, and then premium economy from Paris, back to RDU. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay, for sure, sure. Okay, so that one's a fourteen A&C in the exit row is available from Geneva to Paris, it's not giving me that seat charge. I'll see if that comes up after we confirm the flights and if so I'll get with air France to see about getting that cost moved over. And I am showing premium is available from Paris to Raleigh. It's a 242 configuration. There is availability on that two seats side. Thankfully. Customer: Okay. Customer: Okay. Customer: On the two side, I don't wanna, I don't want to be in the four. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes. Okay, for sure. Yeah, we can definitely get you on the two seats side there, okay, so we can definitely get that changed made if that's what you're wanting to do. So let me go ahead and get this saved. Customer: Okay. Customer: You know you didn't see anything else better for. Customer: For the Tuesday like you didn't see it a one flight thing. And I think the problem is they don't leave Geneva early enough on the Tuesday to catch the flight home otherwise. Agent (Ashley Major): Let me see so on mm-hmm. Customer: Like, the only flight I have to, like, could I do this on Tuesday? Like the same thing. Leave at, leave Geneve at 10:30. Get to Paris at 11:50 and then, take the 1:50 flight. Customer: Like they're, I guess they're not running the same one on Tuesday, right? This. Agent (Ashley Major): So I am. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes, correct. So everything that's available on Tuesday would have at least two stops. I'm not showing anything with just the one stop available on Tuesday. There are some schedules that would give enough connection time. If you are wanting to do those two stops. You would be getting home a little bit later. Okay, so then we would just want to take that one stop. Okay. Customer: Okay. Customer: Not really. Customer: Yeah I'll stay the extra day and yeah, I'll stay the extra day and. Customer: Yeah. Yeah, so let me see if I can get to his map. Customer: Too. Agent (Ashley Major): Let me see. I have not confirmed the flights yet. So I'm not sure that they will show online but you should be able to pull like a general. Customer: Yeah, but if I look at them then I can see what my options are proceeding cause you're probably give me some options and I'll tell you what I want. Let's see. So this is, this would be coming home on Wednesday which should be the twenty eighth and this is flight 74. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Customer: Yeah, so I would want an A. or C. seat on that air France, flight 74 on the way home. Agent (Ashley Major): Hey, for sure that one I believe we were able to grab eleven A&C. Customer: Great. Agent (Ashley Major): Let me. Okay, let me go ahead and get this saved here and see if all of them. Customer: Just because the other side has the bathroom, so you don't want to sit on the J. and the outside. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Okay. Customer: Let me see. Customer: Yeah, fourteen row fourteen is awesome. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, cool, cool, cool. So then hopefully so, so I'll go ahead and get everything finished here on the back end of things there's a couple of things I need to do to get the new flights re ticketed and such. So I'll go ahead and get started on that and I'll get you an email with that updated information once I'm all wrapped up. Customer: Maybe the third times the charm. Customer: Of course of course. Customer: Okay so just to clarify we are doing on October 28th which is a Wednesday the air France like 1643 from Geneva to Charles Dega. And then from Charles to go to RDU it's air flit 74 and we're gonna do an exit row prefer row fourteen preferably A&C if available on the first flight in a premium economy eleven A. And see if you can do that on the second flight. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes. Agent (Ashley Major): Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Agent (Ashley Major): Correct. Customer: Perfect, and now I just have to figure out where I'm gonna stay for that extra night but I'm sure Taylor, when she gets back we'll set me up somewhere. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, for sure miss Taylor or guest relations department would be able to offer you some quotes if that's something that you're wanting to do. Customer: Oh, yeah, actually, can you, is there is that possible for you to switch me to them or is that, do I just call the main number again and just ask for somebody? Agent (Ashley Major): So I can either send them an email once I'm done with everything on my end or I can give you their direct number for you to call. Customer: Why don't you send them everything when you're done at your end and then somebody can call me and we'll make arrangements. Agent (Ashley Major): Alrighty definitely sounds like a plan. And that would be for the night of the twenty seventh. Correct? Customer: Twenty seventh, I'm with talk. So, maybe I can just stay at the same hotel that we're at, cause we're already at a hotel, so, I'm probably just wanna stay one more night there. They can just quote me that out. That would be great. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay. Agent (Ashley Major): Okay, perfect. I've got all that written down there. So I'll be sure to include that to them. Customer: Wonderful, thank you so much Ashley, and if I have to get back in touch with you. I just called the main airfare number and I ask for you if I need to again. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes, ma'am. There's only six of us here in error, so if you ask for me, they'll know who you're talking about. Customer: Okay. Well, Jennifer is the nice person who booked to this one for me the last time and then Michael I think, was the one who started me off and I think by the time I'm done with all this I'll me everybody. Agent (Ashley Major): Oh, for sure. Customer: Awesome, well, thank you so much and I'll just wait for your email then. Agent (Ashley Major): Yes, ma'am. Absolutely my pleasure. Please don't hesitate to reach out. If you have any questions about our refer prop ma'am. Have we have a great rest of your day. Bye. Customer: Okay, have a good day. Customer: Okay, bye-bye.
