But, Garuda Indonesia airline only takes 10% for one ticket. j. Class Explaining the seat class of passenger. D. Problems in Handling Ticket Reservation 1. Technical Problem Techinal problem is the common problem that is usuallyfacedwhen reserving plane ticket. It can be a fatal problem if the ticketing staff dowhen having ticket reservation. For example, when the ticketing staff enter the wrong name or telephone number,but the name of the passenger should be same with the identity card. The staff should check for all the passenger s data when booking plane ticket to minimize the mistake.thus, I suggest every ticketing staff should be more carefull and pay more attention when booking plane ticket. Theyshould learn from the past sothey will not make the same mistake.it should be overcome indeed because it disturb their job and make customers feel dissapointed. In order to minimize the mistake I think the company should make training programfor all the ticketing staff once in a month.

20 33 2. Slow Internet Connection The slow internet speed is the disturbing thing inticket reservationprocess. Because, if the internet speedruns slowly disturbing the process of ticket reservation.for example, when there is apassengers asking to issue ticket but the internet speedruns slowlywhereas the ticket will be used as soon as possible, it makes customers waiting.i suggest that the company should change the intenet connection into the better one and increase the use of internet, it means they only use internetfor important thing. Because of the internet connection is the main thing when booking plane ticket, to keep the internet connection good they can use an amplifier signal. 3. Error System Error system is the problem that often happens.the system or website used to reserve theplane ticket can get error every time.it often happens duringthe process of booking plane ticket. For example, when the ticketing staff do the wrong step it makes the website get error, then it cannot be used in a while. I suggest for the ticketing staff that they should be more carefull when using the website and stay focus when booking ticket.
