3. Keep both brands' reference numbers — if the issue spans both (e.g. refund from A needs verification by B), you'll need ticket IDs from both.
4. Time the call right — 7–10 AM for both brands has 40–60% shorter queues.
5. Document everything — date, time, agent name, ticket number. Required for any escalation to grievance officer or regulator.
