What can cabin crew do to enhance passenger feedback collection?

Soliciting feedback during the flight is a proactive approach that allows cabin crew to engage directly with passengers while their experience is fresh in their minds. This immediate feedback can provide valuable insights into the aspects of the service that passengers appreciate and any areas that could use improvement. By encouraging passengers to share their thoughts, cabin crew can address concerns in real time, enhancing passenger satisfaction and demonstrating that their opinions are valued.

This approach fosters a positive interaction between the crew and the passengers, reinforcing the idea that the airline cares about the travel experience. Collecting feedback during the flight also allows the crew to gather diverse perspectives from a variety of passengers, contributing to more comprehensive and actionable insights.

In contrast, focusing solely on feedback forms or social media can limit the depth and immediacy of the feedback collected. Ignoring informal feedback entirely may lead to missed opportunities for learning and improvement, while only relying on forms may not capture the nuances of the passengers’ experiences. Hence, actively seeking feedback during the flight is the most effective way to enhance the collection of passenger insights.
