Listen to the prompts given by the automated system. The first choice you must make to receive live assistance is to tell the automated representative you want to speak with someone about reservations when you are prompted.
Tell the automated representative if you need to speak with someone about a new reservation or an existing reservation. Listen to the automated representative because she will ask numerous questions about your travel details, including your departure city and travel dates. Answer each question.
Listen as the automated voice explains to you what information is required to make or change a reservation. You will then be transferred to a live representative who will further assist you in making or changing your reservation.
