“I don't want to add it on if they can't give me a good fair.”
Flag Edward's air inquiry in the Pavlus air team system and ensure they reach out to him once Uniworld responds to his form submission with pricing; proactively confirm with Edward that the air team will be his primary point of contact going forward to avoid confusion.
Full analysis
What happened
Edward Goodman, a long-time Pavlus customer, called to ask how to add Uniworld custom air to his existing Uniworld river cruise booking. He wanted to know whether to contact Uniworld directly via their website form or go through Pavlus's guest relations. After clarifying an audio issue at the start, the agent (Tyler) consulted the air team and confirmed that filling out Uniworld's form directly was the right approach, with Uniworld reaching back through Pavlus. Edward then asked whether he'd communicate further with Pavlus's air team or Uniworld directly; Tyler clarified that Pavlus's air team (not guest relations) handles all air coordination. Edward accepted this routing and ended the call satisfied.
Emotional read
Edward started slightly frustrated with audio quality but became cooperative and engaged once the issue was resolved. He displayed cautious pragmatism about air pricing—unwilling to commit before seeing fares—but was satisfied once the process was clarified. He ended the call in an upbeat, resolved mood.
Emotional arc through the call
Started slightly frustrated with audio quality, warmed noticeably once the agent adjusted and resolved the hearing issue, then remained steady and satisfied through the process clarification.

Agent (Tyler Snow): Thank you for calling travel home on the best referral program is Tyler at guest relations. Customer: Yeah. Hi, I'm hard of hearing can you put the microphone closer to your face please or something. You're in sli a tunnel. Agent (Tyler Snow): Okay, can you hear me? Customer: Yeah, that's somewhat better. My name is Edward Goodman. I'm a long time customer of in each Frist and that and now Lauren recent burger but the question I had was I booked a, a unit world river cruise with Lauren and I wanted to know how I go about getting Una world. If I wanted to have uni world custom air. Do I do that through guest relations or do I mean, you know world has a place on the website I can fill out and send in what I want and then of we're still get back to you because I'm a pale customer. Customer: Is that the best way to do it? What do you guys recommend? Agent (Tyler Snow): Is air already on the reservation? Customer: Nope. Customer: But we can always add it, I mean, I'm nine months out. Agent (Tyler Snow): Yeah, of course. I would say the first step was just reaching out to Lauren and letting them know that you want to add air onto the reservation. Customer: Well, I don't want to add it on if they can't give me a good fair. Agent (Tyler Snow): Okay, then I definitely would just say that you're interested in adding it on and just to see what type of fairs they can provide you with before you actually add it on. Customer: Okay. They have a form on their website that they said I could send direct to them. But then of course all communication when they, when they decide, you know, what they can give me would go back through you guys. Agent (Tyler Snow): Mm-hmm give me one second. Mr. Goodman okay, you we. Customer: Yeah, sure. Agent (Tyler Snow): Okay, Mr. Goodman. Customer: Yeah, hi, yeah. Agent (Tyler Snow): Hi! So sorry for the hold. I just wanted to double-check with our air team but he said yes, that's the best way to go about it is you just fill out that form and they should reach out to you directly with some options and then if you'd like those we can add it on for you. Customer: Okay. Now when I called them they said I'm happy to send the weren't in. But anything reaching out they, that go, they would do would go through the travel agency. So, you may hear back I guess that's okay. Agent (Tyler Snow): Okay. Customer: Yeah, and then when I hear back, if I want to communicate with them backwards, do you help me a guest relation? Do I have to talk to Lauren? Agent (Tyler Snow): You have to talk to our air team. Our air team can help you just not gets relations that we don't handle air. Customer: Oh, they can help me with directly you know. I don't know so what do I do? The air team will even though so the air team helps with cruise line air and also they buy the tali doesn't air direct, right? Either way. Agent (Tyler Snow): Yes. Yes. Mm-hmm. Customer: Okay. So they're pretty much the experts on it and I can always check with them. Agent (Tyler Snow): Of course, yes sir. Customer: Okay. Thanks a lot. Bye-bye. Agent (Tyler Snow): You're welcome, bye-bye.
