📺 In context
Again with ~는데요 — the universal Korean softener for problems. 어떻게 하죠? (what do I do?) is less formal than 어떻게 해야 합니까 but still polite.

Korean airlines are generally good about delays — they'll provide meal vouchers and rebooking. Key phrase: 다음 비행기로 바꿔주세요 (Please change me to the next flight). Stay calm — being polite gets you further in Korea.
