ticket agent
Reservation desk worker
A ticket agent is a person who sells tickets, especially for airlines, trains, buses, or entertainment venues.
At airports, the ticket agent works the counter—checking passengers in, issuing boarding passes, and handling baggage.
The term covers both the employee and, in travel industry usage, independent agents who book travel for clients: The ticket agent found us a cheaper flight through Atlanta.
