How do I find my flight number?

Where To Find Flight Numbers? You can find flight numbers on your boarding pass, flight ticket, or booking confirmation. One of the most direct ways to locate your flight is to see it near the top of your physical or digital ticket. Keeping your flight ticket and boarding pass handy at the airport is helpful.



Finding your flight number in 2026 is simple if you know where to look in your digital records. Your flight number is a combination of two letters (the airline code) and 1–4 digits (e.g., DL102 or LH455). You can find it in your confirmation email sent immediately after booking—it is usually located next to the departure time or in the "Itinerary" section. If you have already checked in, it will be prominently displayed at the top of your boarding pass (physical or mobile). You can also find it in the "My Trips" or "Manage Booking" section of the airline’s official app. If you have lost your documents, you can search your email inbox for keywords like "Confirmation," "Itinerary," or "E-ticket." Note that the flight number is different from your 6-digit PNR (Booking Reference) and your 13-digit Ticket Number. If you are at the airport, look at the "Departures" screens; find your destination and departure time, and your flight number will be listed right next to them.
