In any customer service and sales type role, the ability to say no to a customer in a professional and even educational manner is extremely important. At some point during your British Airways interview, your interviewer will be looking to hear that you are able to do just that. On top of letting the customer know that you can't meet their need with this particular request, it is more important that you use your ability to problem solve and provide the best service possible by taking the time to search for more options for the customer. As you answer, keep this in mind.

"In this particular situation, I would be very upfront with the customer and let them know that their desired flight is sold out and would refer to any particular policies that British Airways has about overbooking with the customer. To try and help them find a solution, I would work with them to find other available flights that would meet their schedule. I would look at alternate routing, if necessary, and once again work within policies on pricing for the customer."
