A method and system may automatically provide a remote airline agent to a user. A server device receives pending requests to communicate with a remote airline agent from users each attempting to modify a flight segment or obtain assistance related to the flight segment. For each of the requests, the server device obtains flight information for the flight segments to identify a flight urgency level or a flight criticality level for the flight segment. The server device assigns a priority level to each of the pending requests based on one or more attributes associated with each pending request, ranks the pending requests in accordance with the assigned priority levels, and automatically connects to a client device for a highest ranked request of the pending requests to initiate a video chat between the user and the remote airline agent.
