Net zoals verschillende studenten die Toerisme volgen hoorde ik dat een stage op de luchthaven een hele leuke ervaring was. Dit wou ik zelf ondervinden en koos er dus voor om bij Aviapartner te gaan werken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natuurlijk was dit niet de enige reden waarvoor ik op de luchthaven ging werken. Ik had al 6 maanden ervaring in de reissector als reisagent in een reisbureau onder het merk Neckermann. Bij Neckermann gaf ik de reisdocumenten af en op de luchthaven wou ik de andere zijde van deze interactie ervaren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voor ik\nzelfstandig op de luchthaven mocht beginnen had ik een opleiding van 3 weken.\nDe eerste twee weken bracht ik door aan de cargodienst in Machelen. Hier kreeg\nik informatie over hoe ik een paspoort of identiteitskaart moet lezen en hoe\nbelangrijk veiligheid is op de luchthaven. Ook kreeg ik informatie over het\nwerkproces van een check-in agent en hoe de boarding verloopt. Later leerde ik\nmet de systemen van TUI en Vueling werken. De tweede week hadden we een aantal\ntesten waarop ik geslaagd moest zijn. De eerste twee weken waren heel zwaar en\nniet zo leuk, maar de derde week was ik eindelijk op de luchthaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first week at the airport consisted of double\nwork. This means I had to join someone in their tasks whether it was check-in,\nboarding, hosting,\u2026 . During this week I learned a lot and I started to look\nforward to the weeks to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the successful conclusion of my training, I was allowed to start working independently. I was really stressed during the first day, a bit scared even. After all it is of paramount importance not to make a mistake at the check-in on the subject of passport control. Turkey especially can be tricky. You need a visa for Turkey and many people mess up the process by putting their number of the National Register instead of their ID number on the visa. The first time I was really shy when I had to tell people that their documents weren\u2019t correct or when I had to tell them that they had an excess amount of kilograms in their luggage. But now that I\u2019ve been working here more than a month I\u2019ve started to be more comfortable which shows a big difference in the response I get from these passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boarding is an easier task than the check-in. All you\nhave to do is to make sure the right passengers get on the plane and make sure\nthat everyone gets on the plane. Sometimes I even got the chance to go inside\nthe plane to check some passengers who sneakily passed the boarding security\ncheck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, work at the airport is amazing. I get to do\ndifferent tasks and I\u2019m never bored because I don\u2019t have the time for it. When\nI get home I\u2019m often exhausted but more than satisfied with what I have\nachieved during the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
