The six-digit alphanumeric code that appears on your boarding pass is your PNR, or Passenger Name Reference—also known as your record locator, reservation code, or booking code.

For the most part, air travelers who book their flight online receive the booking code directly after completing the booking on the website. Otherwise, the booking code can always be found on the e-ticket, in the booking confirmation, and on the invoice.

The PNR Record Locator is the reservation number of the trip booked by the travel agency from the GDS system, which is typically different than the airline confirmation code. The airline confirmation number is what is required for the traveler to check-in to their flight.

Until you have a ticket number, your reservation remains in limbo. Confirmation and ticket numbers are often issued simultaneously, but not always. Award holds are a routine example: you'll get a confirmation number when you activate a hold, but you won't be ticketed until you pay for it.

A flight reservation is a plane ticket that you reserve without paying. A flight reservation confirms that an individual holds a flight seat on an aircraft. Once you get your Visa approved, you can actually purchase your “reservation flight tickets”.

Call the airline. They should be able to find your reservation by your name and travel dates. Usually your name and specific flight and date are needed.

MORE DETAILS

A reservation has two important numbers to it – the confirmation number (or PNR/Record Locator) and the ticket number(s). You can have one reservation with three people on it and because you only have one reservation, you also only have one confirmation number. However, everyone needs their own ticket number.

Is an e-ticket also my itinerary? No. A flight itinerary has all the details you need to know about the flights on your trip—departure city and time, flight numbers, arrival city and times, etc. —while an e-ticket may only have some of that information.

There is a common misconception that flight itineraries and flight tickets are the same things, and in reality, they are two very different documents that serve other purposes. A flight itinerary is simply a schedule of flights, while a flight ticket is an actual document that allows you to board the plane.
