Pnr in the electronic ticket where it is located. Online registration rules

You can check your air ticket reservation using online services. To do this, you need to know your reservation number and the correct spelling of your last name in English. We will tell you below where to get information about a booked air ticket and how to do it correctly, as well as questions that arise along the way.

What does it mean to “check an electronic plane ticket”?

When buying electronic air tickets for the first time, many people ask the question: “Will the airline deceive me, and where can I check my air ticket reservation?”

Let's first understand what an e-ticket is. This is a document that contains information about you, the flight and the places of departure and arrival.

The electronic ticketing system was first used in the United States in 1996. And since 2008, the International Air Transport Association has introduced this form as mandatory. So, what is the difference between an electronic air ticket and a regular one?

Let's start with the fact that you will not have a printed paper version of the ticket in your hands, which you are used to dealing with. All data about the electronic ticket you purchase is entered into the airline’s server and stored there for a certain amount of time.

That is, you do not need to print anything and present receipts to pay for the ticket; When checking in, you simply show your passport (which was used to purchase the ticket) and receive a boarding pass.
There is no need to worry about the ticket getting lost. An electronic ticket will never be lost, since information about it is archived and entered into the air carrier’s server. Even if there is a computer system failure, all data will be unarchived and your reservation will not be lost.

To give you peace of mind, you can always check your flight reservation using online servers. Go to the airline’s website, enter all the required data (usually your reservation number and last name), and the system will display information about the electronic ticket you purchased.

Booking code on the e-ticket

What is the reservation code that we need so much to check the electronic ticket?

The reservation code is an alphanumeric code consisting of 6 characters. Indicated on the ticket or itinerary receipt.

As a rule, in English the line containing the booking code is called “BOOKING REFERENCE” or “BOOKING REF”. In Russian, this line may be called “RESERVATION DATA” or “RESERVATION DATA”.

How to check your flight reservation?

Check e-ticket can be done in several ways:

Don't know your rights?

  1. Call the hotline of the airline where you booked your ticket. The operator will ask you for the reservation code and your contact information, then determine whether there is such a reservation and provide all the coordinates of your flight. This option is also convenient because you can find out all the information using one booking code (if you don’t know who the ticket was issued for).
  2. Check your ticket reservation online: on the website of the airline where the ticket was purchased, or using air ticket booking systems.

Today there are 4 large electronic ticket booking systems:

  • Amadeus (website www.checkmytrip.com);
  • Galileo (www.viewtrip.com);
  • Saber (www.virtuallythere.com);
  • Sirena - Travel (www.myairlines.ru).

As a rule, if you are booking a tour through a travel agency rather than directly through the airline, the travel agency should tell you which of these sites you can use to view your ticket reservation.

The principle of using these systems is very simple: follow the link to the site, a window with a table will open in front of you, where you need to enter the reservation code and your last name (as in a foreign passport if you are flying abroad, or as in a Russian passport if you are flying within Russia ).

If suddenly you don’t have a reservation code in your hands, but only the electronic ticket number and the passenger’s last name are left, then you can use the OneTwoTrip service (https://secure.onetwotrip.com/ticket/).

How to check an electronic air ticket for its relevance?

There are situations when a few days before departure or on the day of departure, the airline cancels the flight. This can happen for various reasons: bad weather, employee strike, lack of available planes, etc.

If you booked a ticket through an intermediary (travel agency), then he must notify you about this. But what to do in a situation where the intermediary turns out to be dishonest?

You also go to the website where you viewed the confirmation of your air ticket reservation and check the flight status. If you see "Confirmed" there is no problem. But if this column says “Not confirmed,” then call the airline and clarify the details.

Naturally, no one will leave you without a ticket. As practice shows, another airline can carry out the flight, which you will be informed about by calling the hotline.

Nuances worth knowing about!

If you made one of the following mistakes when booking an e-ticket, then don’t be alarmed, just follow the instructions carefully.

  • You entered the passenger's last name incorrectly. This is a serious mistake, since if the details of your passport and ticket do not match, you may not be allowed on board. To correct this, call the airline or agency where you booked the ticket and find out what to do.
  • If there is an error in your passport details or the spelling of your email address, also call the agency or airline and ask for changes.
  • If you have chosen the wrong route or flight. Business class tickets are usually exchangeable. But if you have economy class, then the issue will be resolved at the discretion of the company. You may have to pay an additional amount.

After making all the changes, ask to be sent a new electronic ticket by email, and carefully check all the information entered again!

To ensure that the passenger does not get lost during the trip, after purchasing an air ticket, he receives several important documents. They will certainly contain all sorts of codes, numbers, letters and abbreviations, which at first glance may be puzzling due to their incomprehensibility. What is a reservation code and where can I find it? Why are airports marked with some letters, and it is not always possible to make out the actual destination? We will clearly tell you everything: about the booking code, flight number and other designations.

Booking code

You may come across the following concepts - and they are all synonyms:

  • booking code
  • reservation numbers
  • Reservation number
  • travel booking confirmation
  • Order number
  • supplier confirmation number (very rare)

Where to find the booking code on your ticket

«>

Image: Example of Airberlin booking confirmation with booking number

Booking number is a code usually consisting of a combination of numbers and letters. However, it can also be a purely numerical or alphabetic sequence. This can often happen if the ticket is purchased through a travel agent.

The booking code helps the tour operator or airline match the booking and related services. The booking code remains the same for all passengers on the same booking. For example, all family members receive the same booking number if their tickets were purchased together. In this case, the booking code can apply to several flights at once, for example, include round trip flight, and connecting flights.

Image: flight booking number from tour operator Ltur

Often, a reservation number is required to obtain boarding passes when checking in at the airport. You will need the same reservation number if you decide to check in online on the airline’s website yourself.


Advice: Remember, for any check-in - both at the airport and online - you will need a reservation code and an identification document containing your identification number (passport number). Prepare them in advance and keep them nearby.

After check-in, you will receive a boarding pass, which you will need to present at security at the gate and when you board the aircraft. On your boarding pass you will find information such as: gate number, flight number, Boarding Time, Departure Time, your seat on the aircraft, booking class (Economy, Business, First) and usually the booking code.

Image: Example Eurowings boarding pass with booking code

Flight number

The flight number can be compared to the number of a bus or tram line. It identifies a specific air service and remains unchanged as long as the airline maintains that route on its flight schedule.

The flight number is made up of the operating airline's IATA code (1-3 letters) and a maximum of 5 digits that define the route. That is, each new flight does not have its own unique one-time number.

Examples of flight numbers

  • DE143 >> Antalya - Frankfurt with Condor (=DE)
  • AB6894 >> Stuttgart - Sylt with Airberlin (=AB)
  • 4U2823 >> Milan - Stuttgart with Germanwings (=4U)
  • LH817 >> Gothenburg - Frankfurt with Lufthansa (=LH)
  • FR4026 >> Karlsruhe-London-Stansted with Ryanair (=FR)

Where can you find your flight number on your boarding pass?

Image: Example of a flight number on a Ryanair boarding pass

Why do you need a flight number?

Airlines, airports and air safety use the flight number for "operational reasons" and it serves as a reference for passengers.

On information boards at the airport, flight numbers can always be found under the heading “flight” and you can understand which airline and which route you are talking about.

IATA codes

Another designation that will appear on your travel documents is IATA codes (IATA codes). They are assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and are unique to each airport, each landing site and each airline.

Airports receive a code consisting of 3 letters of the Latin alphabet, for example: MUC for Munich. These designations help avoid confusion between airports and airlines.


As an example, consider the meaning of the IATA code for the city of London

There are a total of 6 airports in the city. If the name of the airport coincided with the name of the city, it would be unclear which airport in London we are talking about. Therefore, for example, Heathrow Airport, the largest London airport, has the code LHR, and, for example, London Gatwick Airport has the code LGW, and so on.

Advice: When booking a trip, always pay attention to the airport code! Thus, you will not find yourself in a situation where the arrival airport is outside the city, and you did not know about it. Some low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair or Easyjet, guided by the ignorance of travelers, specifically serve flights from regional airports. By working with such airports, airlines incur lower costs, for example, lower airport duties.

Buying tickets online

Today, buying tickets via the Internet is not only convenient and fashionable, but also economically feasible. Thanks to this service, you can choose the shortest route at the most affordable cost. In addition, the passenger gets the opportunity to make payments without leaving home, which significantly speeds up this process.


Experienced travelers have long had trusted intermediaries through whom they make purchases and do not doubt their honesty. But newcomers run the risk of falling into the hands of scammers and ruining their vacation. However, the PNR code in the electronic ticket will come to the rescue. This simple combination of letters and numbers is found on every itinerary receipt sent by email and includes a lot of useful information.

Therefore, if you bought tickets on the site for the first time and doubt their authenticity, then open the letter from the airline and let’s study the document sent to you.

Route receipt: what is it?

Remember that each airline must issue an itinerary receipt for the passenger. When purchasing a ticket via the Internet, it is compiled almost instantly (after payment) and is generated automatically by the system. This document is then sent to the client’s email. Usually, from payment to receipt of the ticket, not even ten minutes pass.

The itinerary receipt contains all the information about the passenger and his flight, while its appearance is not regulated in any way. Each company has its own rules according to which data is located and grouped on a ticket. Therefore, do not be surprised if you see completely different itinerary receipts purchased through different services.


Please keep in mind that you can print your e-ticket before boarding your flight, but this is not necessary since all your information is already entered into the airline’s database. If you still want to print the document, then do it on a regular sheet. Even in this form, it is an official document that is suitable for strict reporting in the accounting department of your company and other organizations.

Features of an electronic ticket

Many older Russians still prefer to purchase tickets at the box office, so that after payment they can hold it in their hands and definitely not worry about any small details. However, the electronic itinerary receipt has a lot of advantages and features that I would like to mention:

  • an electronic ticket does not have a letterhead and cannot be touched;
  • it cannot be lost;
  • the itinerary receipt cannot be falsified;
  • an electronic ticket cannot be stolen;
  • With a ticket purchased online, you can check in for your flight via the Internet;
  • a passenger can arrive at the airport only with a passport in hand.

As you can see, there are a huge number of advantages in an electronic ticket. Therefore, you should not be afraid to purchase it via the Internet, you just need to be very careful and understand what kind of document you received after the transaction.

Reading the ticket

If this is your first time holding an electronic ticket in your hands, then you need to learn how to read it. Most of the information is written on it in English.

First of all, find your first and last name on the form. In cases where you are planning a trip abroad, check their spelling with the data in your international passport. If they do not match, then you are unlikely to be able to board the plane. Therefore, contact the airline and make any necessary changes before it is too late.

At the top of the itinerary receipt are your ticket number and the name of the organization through which the purchase was made. If necessary, you can check the authenticity of the ticket on its website.

Also be sure to check the date and time of departure, as well as the arrival and departure airports on your receipt. This information is usually indicated in the middle part of the ticket. The flight number and the airline that will operate it are also printed here.

In addition to all the listed components of the itinerary receipt, it will necessarily contain your passport details, the day the ticket was issued, the class of flight and the amount paid for the trip.

What is the PNR code on an e-ticket?

This code is quite easy to recognize - it is a combination of five Latin letters and numbers. They contain a large amount of information about the traveler and the flight. In addition, this code allows you to find out how honest the intermediary was with you. If he actually made a reservation, then you can easily check this by going to his website. We will talk about this verification method a little later.

Please note that on some receipts the code is six alphanumeric characters long. This option is also considered correct and is not an error.

Where is the PNR located on the e-ticket?

This code is usually located at the top of the itinerary receipt. Moreover, it can be applied both on the right and on the left. It is often grouped with the order number or routing receipt.

For example, let's look at where the PNR is in the Onur Air electronic ticket. If you pick up this airline's itinerary receipt, you will see a six-digit individual code. Onur Air is exactly the carrier that prints a six-character code. It will be located on the left side of the ticket after the airline and before the flight number and airport information.

Why is an alphanumeric code needed?

We already know where the PNR number is in the electronic ticket, but now we need to find out exactly how to use it and why it is given to passengers in the first place. We have already mentioned that this combination of Latin letters and numbers contains all the information about the traveler and the flight. In addition, thanks to the code, you can find out how honest the intermediary is with you and whether he really issued a ticket in your name. We recommend doing such a check even in cases where tickets are purchased on time-tested sites.

To check, you will need the name of the booking system through which your itinerary receipt was issued. Usually it is located just above the PNR code or next to it. Next, go to the website of the specified system and enter your individual code and your last name on the main page. A few seconds after starting the search, you should see detailed information about your ticket and flight. Moreover, its status must be indicated. These may be the words “issued” or “issued”.

If the information does not appear on the computer screen, then there can only be two reasons for this situation. The first is that you have just issued a ticket and it has not yet entered the database. Therefore, it is worth trying again in a few days. But the second reason is the most unpleasant - you have fallen for scammers and it’s time to start sounding the alarm.

Six-digit code: advantages of this option

The six-character code gives the passenger more benefits as it allows the authenticity of the ticket to be verified in an international database. The verification algorithm is identical to the one we already described in the previous section.

To begin with, let’s go through the first steps of the very concept of “electronic air ticket” and highlight its features for beginners.

What is the essence of an electronic air ticket (e-ticket)?

This document is an agreement that certifies the agreement on air transportation between the passenger and the airline.

Many airlines, such as Aeroflot, Pobeda, UTair, Turkish Airlines, Ozon Travel, Ural Airlines, etc., have official websites where air tickets are sold online.

It differs from paper in that it is stored in the electronic database of the company.

Advantages of this type of ticket:

  1. The electronic ticket is located in the information database of various types of computer systems, which reduces the risk of its loss and increases security capabilities.
  2. For these tickets there is no longer a need for certain forms, because all available information is stored on computers and can be easily transferred to others if such a need arises.
  3. Due to the development of e-commerce, it became possible to pay for the purchase of a ticket through special terminals or the Internet, which reduces the time of future passengers and the organization of the sale of these tickets for airlines.

What does it mean to “check an electronic plane ticket”?

Many citizens, when purchasing an electronic ticket, ask questions about whether they will be subject to fraud by the airline and where should they check their air ticket reservation?

If you don’t yet know absolutely nothing about an electronic ticket, then remember: an electronic ticket is a document containing your personal data, the current flight, the date of departure and arrival.

Forget about the old paper version you dealt with in the early 2000s.

Here is some list of facts you should be familiar with:

  • You will not need to present receipts to pay for the ticket.
  • During the check-in procedure, you only need to show your passport (which you used to issue the ticket), after which you will be issued a boarding pass.
  • Forget about the possible loss of your ticket, because... All data is stored on airline computers.
  • At any time, you have the opportunity to view your ticket reservation on your airline’s website.

Electronic ticket sales sites

Purchasing electronic equipment through the website is much faster than if you contacted a travel agency or went to Sheremetyevo or another airport.

By booking a ticket on the website, you receive all the information in an extremely detailed manner. They will tell you about all the possible flights that the company can offer on this route.


There are a huge number of sites, and they often differ from each other in particular cases:

  • Interface;
  • Quick search field;
  • The mechanism for selecting proposals;
  • Amount of service fee;
  • Payment method.

The capabilities of a given site are constantly varying, which in some aspects limits or narrows the available solutions for the user.

Examples of several sites for purchasing profitable air tickets from Russia: aviasales.ru, skyscanner.ru.

To review the relevance of our electronic booklet, you always need to know about the reservation code. So what is it?

  2. A table will open in front of you where you need to enter your reservation number and your last name (if you are going abroad, then write your last name as it appears in your foreign passport).

Once you log in, you will see all the information about your flight, flight status and passengers. You should also print out your e-ticket.

It is quite possible that you only have an electronic ticket in your hands, without a reservation code, then you should go to a special website: OneTwoTrip (https://secure.onetwotrip.com/ticket/)

If you booked a tour through a travel agency, then, in theory, it is he who needs to provide you with information about the site where the check can be carried out.

How to check flight status?

It also wouldn’t hurt to add separately that in these systems you can also check whether your flight will take place or not.

Be sure to check this before your trip. Since it is quite possible that the intermediary from whom you bought the ticket may forget to inform you that the flight was canceled at the last minute, due to a storm warning, for example.

Of course, this will not be very flattering on his part, but, increasingly, for an additional fee, services for the sale of electronic equipment themselves, if something happens, notify you about it.

If the flight status is confirmed, then everything is fine and it will take place. If it is not confirmed, then immediately contact your airline or the intermediary from whom you purchased this ticket.

So be extremely careful, because... If you have refused to send these announcements, then get ready to manually check the flight status.

What if there is a mistake in filling out passenger information?


There are a number of actions to take if you make a mistake in filling out the data.

Entering your last name incorrectly is an extremely serious mistake, so you should contact the appropriate agency (intermediary) where you purchased your EB, or directly the airline itself, as soon as possible.

There is simply such a possibility that under certain circumstances you will not be able to correct the incorrectly typed last name, then your access to the plane will simply be denied.

If you made a mistake in writing your email or passport details, this is not too critical. This information can be changed there, at the airline or at the agency.

In general, this operation is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. You need to call the airline and clarify the details of changing your passport data, give them the new data and request an electronic ticket again.

You won’t spend much time on it, and the result will be completely worth it.

Perhaps you mixed up the date or route of the flight - then, if you purchased a business class flight, the airline will easily change everything for you.

But if you have booked a seat in economy class, then the company can change your date or route only at its discretion.


Most often, cheap tickets are not subject to revision; in rare cases, the airline agrees to change data only with an additional fee.

Fewer mistakes for you at the start and a successful flight!

Modern technologies have quietly entered almost all areas of people's lives. We cannot imagine our existence without many innovations, and some give us a strange feeling of misunderstanding. A similar feeling is encountered by those people who buy tickets online for the first time and are trying to figure out what to do with the document that comes to them by email after making the payment. Especially often, such inexperienced travelers are tormented by the question of where to find the PNR number on an electronic ticket and how to use it to check their departure details. If you also had to deal with an itinerary receipt for the first time and you cannot read it, then our article is a godsend for you. We will pay close attention to finding out what this mysterious PNR in an electronic ticket is and why it is still needed.

Buying tickets online

Today, buying tickets via the Internet is not only convenient and fashionable, but also economically feasible. Thanks to this service, you can choose the shortest route at the most affordable cost. In addition, the passenger gets the opportunity to make payments without leaving home, which significantly speeds up this process.

Experienced travelers have long had trusted intermediaries through whom they make purchases and do not doubt their honesty. But newcomers run the risk of falling into the hands of scammers and ruining their vacation. However, the PNR code in the electronic ticket will come to the rescue. This simple combination of letters and numbers is found on every itinerary receipt sent by email and includes a lot of useful information.

Therefore, if you bought tickets on the site for the first time and doubt their authenticity, then open the letter from the airline and let’s study the document sent to you.

Route receipt: what is it?

Remember that each airline must issue an itinerary receipt for the passenger. When purchasing a ticket via the Internet, it is compiled almost instantly (after payment) and is generated automatically by the system. This document is then sent to the client’s email. Usually, from payment to receipt of the ticket, not even ten minutes pass.

The itinerary receipt contains all the information about the passenger and his flight, while its appearance is not regulated in any way. Each company has its own rules according to which data is located and grouped on a ticket. Therefore, do not be surprised if you see completely different itinerary receipts purchased through different services.

Please keep in mind that you can print your e-ticket before boarding your flight, but this is not necessary since all your information is already entered into the airline’s database. If you still want to print the document, then do it on a regular sheet. Even in this form, it is an official document that is suitable for strict reporting in the accounting department of your company and other organizations.

Features of an electronic ticket

Many older Russians still prefer to purchase tickets at the box office, so that after payment they can hold it in their hands and definitely not worry about any small details. However, the electronic itinerary receipt has a lot of advantages and features that I would like to mention:

  • an electronic ticket does not have a letterhead and cannot be touched;
  • it cannot be lost;
  • the itinerary receipt cannot be falsified;
  • an electronic ticket cannot be stolen;
  • With a ticket purchased online, you can check in for your flight via the Internet;
  • a passenger can arrive at the airport only with a passport in hand.

As you can see, there are a huge number of advantages in an electronic ticket. Therefore, you should not be afraid to purchase it via the Internet, you just need to be very careful and understand what kind of document you received after the transaction.

If this is your first time holding an electronic ticket in your hands, then you need to learn how to read it. Most of the information is written on it in English.

First of all, find your first and last name on the form. In cases where you are planning a trip abroad, check their spelling with the data in your international passport. If they do not match, then you are unlikely to be able to board the plane. Therefore, contact the airline and make any necessary changes before it is too late.

At the top of the itinerary receipt are your ticket number and the name of the organization through which the purchase was made. If necessary, you can check the authenticity of the ticket on its website.

Also be sure to check the date and time of departure, as well as the arrival and departure airports on your receipt. This information is usually indicated in the middle part of the ticket. The flight number and the airline that will operate it are also printed here.

In addition to all the listed components of the itinerary receipt, it will necessarily contain your passport details, the day the ticket was issued, the class of flight and the amount paid for the trip.

What is the PNR code on an e-ticket?

It is quite easy to recognize this code - it is a combination of five Latin letters and numbers. They contain a large amount of information about the traveler and the flight. In addition, this code allows you to find out how honest the intermediary was with you. If he actually made a reservation, then you can easily check this by going to his website. We will talk about this verification method a little later.

Please note that on some receipts the code is six alphanumeric characters long. This option is also considered correct and is not an error.

Where is the PNR located on the e-ticket?

This code is usually located at the top of the itinerary receipt. Moreover, it can be applied both on the right and on the left. It is often grouped with the order number or routing receipt.

For example, let's look at where the PNR is in the Onur Air electronic ticket. If you pick up this airline's itinerary receipt, you will see a six-digit individual code. Onur Air is exactly the carrier that prints a six-character code. It will be located on the left side of the ticket after the airline and before the flight number and airport information.

Why is an alphanumeric code needed?

We already know where the PNR number is in the electronic ticket, but now we need to find out exactly how to use it and why it is given to passengers in the first place. We have already mentioned that this combination of Latin letters and numbers contains all the information about the traveler and the flight. In addition, thanks to the code, you can find out how honest the intermediary is with you and whether he really issued a ticket in your name. We recommend doing such a check even in cases where tickets are purchased on time-tested sites.

To check, you will need the name of the booking system through which your itinerary receipt was issued. Usually it is located just above the PNR code or next to it. Next, go to the website of the specified system and enter your individual code and your last name on the main page. A few seconds after starting the search, you should see detailed information about your ticket and flight. Moreover, its status must be indicated. These may be the words “issued” or “issued”.

If the information does not appear on the computer screen, then there can only be two reasons for this situation. The first is that you have just issued a ticket and it has not yet entered the database. Therefore, it is worth trying again in a few days. But the second reason is the most unpleasant - you have fallen for scammers and it’s time to start sounding the alarm.

Six-digit code: advantages of this option

The six-character code gives the passenger more benefits as it allows the authenticity of the ticket to be verified in an international database. The verification algorithm is identical to the one we already described in the previous section.

Where to look for a reservation code and what it is

The booking code is the buyer’s individual number, with the help of which airport employees can find out all the necessary information about the upcoming flight. Each electronic ticket has its own unique six-character code. This combination is present both at Aeroflot and other air carriers. The code consists of both Latin letters and numbers.

If you purchased your ticket online, on the Aeroflot website. Then the unique number will be in the upper right corner of the ticket. It can be found without much effort, but some people do not know what it is for. The number has a separate free space in which the code is highlighted in large letters. Also next to it may be the signature “booking reference”, which means Booking Code.

Each air carrier is required to provide its customers with communication with the dispatcher for various consultations. After the dispatcher answers you, you will be able to find out all the necessary information on the upcoming flight and your ticket. But in order to get advice from the dispatcher on your questions, he will need a unique ticket code.
  • There is also an online check. To do this, you will need to use the proposed modules on the airline’s website. On this site you will also need to provide your unique reservation code. After you navigate it, the site will give you all the necessary information about your upcoming flight.

Don’t be afraid to forget or lose your ticket; you won’t be asked for it during registration; just your passport is enough.

Nowadays, more and more people have begun to use the very convenient service of ordering tickets on the Internet. In this case, the ticket is sent by email.

The booking code is located on the right in the "BOOKING REFERENCE" field(translated as “reservation code”) and is an alphanumeric sequence of 6 characters. This can be clearly seen in the picture.

Last year we tried to book tickets to Kaliningrad. Not only do you not have to go anywhere and stand in lines, but you also received tickets with a good discount via email literally within 24 hours after payment. I was afraid how registration would go, but at the airport they didn’t even look at the tickets, they only checked my passport details on the computer, and without unwrapping the tickets, they gave me back. Now if we have to fly somewhere, we will only order via the Internet!
