ABOUT THE JOB

You'll handle individual and group flight bookings, securing space across various international and domestic carriers while processing electronic tickets (e-tickets), automated/manual re-issuances, re-routings and exchanges in compliance with IATA regulations and airline fare rules. You'll handle flight changes, cancellations, schedule updates and seat allocations swiftly, managing seat limits, group splits or alternative routing during disruptions while quoting complex itineraries, applying proper taxes, fees and surcharges (TTS/YQ/YR) and processing refunds or voids accurately.

You'll coordinate directly with partner airlines (e.g., Iberia, TAP Portugal, RAM) regarding special service requests (SSR), group space management and waiver codes. You'll provide exceptional support to internal travel advisors, operations teams and direct clients via phone, email or chat.

ABOUT YOU

You have proven experience as a Ticketing Agent, Travel Consultant or GDS Operator within a travel agency, airline or tour operator environment (TUI experience is a plus). You possess IATA/UFTAA Diploma or equivalent airline ticketing certification which is highly preferred along with solid proficiency in at least one major GDS platform (Amadeus, Sabre or Galileo). You demonstrate deep understanding of IATA ticketing rules, fare construction and automated re-issuance tools with exceptional attention to detail, especially under tight deadlines and pressure.

You show solid problem-solving skills for managing last-minute flight alterations and group logistics with excellent communication skills in English (and local operational languages like French, depending on the region). From a workplace to a place to belong. At TUI we embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, encouraging everyone to come as you are, because together, our potential is limitless. We are committed to supporting candidates with disabilities and impairments so if you require any support, please do let us know. #LI-NW1
