gate agents

Airport check-in workers

Gate agents are airline employees stationed at departure gates who manage the boarding process, check passengers onto flights, handle seat assignments, and address last-minute issues like upgrades, standby lists, and rebooking when flights are delayed or canceled.

They're the final point of contact before passengers board: The gate agent announced that the flight was overbooked.
