Can two different flights have same PNR number?

For example, it's possible to have the same PNR for different flights if a round-trip or connecting flight is booked with the same airline. If the connecting flight involves two airlines that don't have an agreement, there may be different PNRs for each segment of the trip.



Yes, multiple flights can share the same PNR (Passenger Name Record) number, but they must be part of the same traveler's itinerary. A PNR is essentially a "folder" that holds all the segments of a single trip; for example, if you fly from London to New York with a connection in Dublin, both flight segments will be stored under the same 6-character PNR code. However, two completely unrelated people on different journeys will not have the same PNR at the same time, as the code is designed to be a unique identifier for a specific booking. In very rare cases, once a PNR is archived (months after a trip is completed), the alphanumeric code may be recycled and assigned to a new traveler. Additionally, if you book a "multi-city" trip or a round-trip ticket, all associated flights will share that one PNR, making it easier for airlines to manage your luggage and connections across the entire journey.
