About careerzynith and the Opportunity
careerzynith is a forward-thinking organization that thrives at the intersection of travel, hospitality, and exceptional guest experiences. We are building a distributed team of passionate professionals who want to make a tangible difference for travelers every single day. If you have ever pictured yourself helping a stranded guest rebook a flight, guiding a travel agent through a complex itinerary, or supporting the behind-the-scenes logistics that keep major travel operations running smoothly, this role is designed for you.
We are currently seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented Remote Air Customer Service Specialist to join our customer experience division. This is a 100% remote position based in the United States, and we are actively looking for amazing humans from coast to coast to bring their customer service excellence, technical know-how, and problem-solving mindset to our growing team.
At careerzynith, we believe that the right person in this role is more than a call-taker — you are a traveler’s advocate, a logistics coordinator, and a brand ambassador rolled into one. You will be working with cross-functional teams across the organization to ensure that every air-related interaction is handled with care, speed, and accuracy.
Key Responsibilities
As an Air Customer Service Specialist at careerzynith, your day will be dynamic, fast-paced, and deeply rewarding. You will be the first line of support for guests, travel agents, and airline partners, handling a high volume of phone calls, chat messages, emails, and voicemails. Your core responsibilities will include:
- Answering inbound and outbound phone calls, chat messages, emails, and voicemails related to air travel issues, ensuring prompt, accurate, and empathetic communication with every customer interaction.
- Amending major schedule changes, including reissuing tickets, performing exchanges, processing refunds, and handling ticketing activities in full compliance with airline and company policies.
- Tracking and resolving incomplete Passenger Name Records (PNR) caused by missing TSA data, absent airfares, or other data gaps, ensuring records are complete and accurate before final payment.
- Realigning pricing within PNRs to re-price reservations and collect any additional amounts owed outside the standard final payment window.
- Certifying all air tickets issued to guests by updating the ticket match exception report and confirming that all flights are valid and ticketed properly.
- Assigning ancillary services such as seat selection, baggage, upgrades, and special requests when requested by guests.
- Processing entertainment requests, crew executive travel arrangements, VIP guest bookings, and providing clear down-line communication to port agents, hotels, and ground transportation providers.
- Researching air schedules booked for crew members to ensure they fall within approved budget parameters and recommending cost-effective alternatives when needed.
- Processing last-minute crew changes related to air accommodations, including rebooking, rerouting, and ticketing adjustments under tight deadlines.
- Providing next-port protection coverage by re-accommodating passengers on alternative flights when original itineraries are disrupted.
- Communicating clearly and professionally with customers, co-workers, airline partners, and management to reduce errors and maintain the highest level of service quality.
- Consistently delivering on commitments to both external and internal customers to drive satisfaction, loyalty, and operational excellence.
- Supporting and upholding careerzynith’s Culture Essentials, demonstrating integrity, fairness, and professionalism in every interaction.
- Working shipboard email inboxes to ensure that onboard guests and crew members receive timely, accurate responses to their travel needs.
- Helping guests and travel agents with en-route issues such as missed connections, delays, cancellations, and last-minute travel disruptions.
- Performing any additional duties assigned by leadership within the scope of the position.
