Sherry McGonegle at San Jose Airport

Sherry works for the company American Airlines. She issues plane tickets at San Jose airport in California. Here she tells us about her job.

A passenger will step up and speak to her. He will tell her which flight he wants, what ticket he intends to buy. Then, she can issue the ticket at the ticket counter. She can also reconfirm their itinerary for the round trip, check in their luggage and make sure they are satisfied with their seat selection.

The airlines offer three classes of service: Coach Class, which is the economy class, Business Class, which is better than Coach Class. They can also offer First Class, which is the premium class, and the best way to travel.

Passengers can buy a one way ticket or a return one. They can travel in the morning, afternoon and evening and even – at night. For the most part, flights are non-stop.
