Where is the PNR number on a Ryanair flight?

The PNR number may be found in your ticket itself. If more than one ticket is booked at the same time, they will all have the same PNR number. This number corresponds to bookings, not individual passengers. You may check your PNR status on the go through the Cleartrip app or website.



On a Ryanair flight, your PNR (Passenger Name Record) is officially called your Booking Reference. This is a unique 6-digit alpha-numeric code (e.g., ABCD12) that serves as the "key" to your entire reservation. You can find this code in several places: it is prominently displayed in the subject line and body of your confirmation email, it appears on the top-right corner of your PDF itinerary, and it is clearly visible in the "My Bookings" section of the Ryanair mobile app. If you are checking your physical or digital boarding pass, the 6-digit reference is usually located near your name or the barcode. It is vital to keep this code private, as it allows anyone who has it (along with your email address) to access your personal details or make changes to your flight. If you booked through a third-party travel agent (like TUI or Expedia), you may have a separate "Agent Reference," but the Ryanair PNR will always be the 6-digit one required for online check-in.

On a Ryanair flight, you won’t find a traditional PNR (Passenger Name Record) number like those used by legacy airlines. Instead, Ryanair uses a unique Booking Reference or Reservation Number.

Here’s where to find it and what it looks like:

1. On Your Ryanair Booking Confirmation Email

This is the most common place. When you book, Ryanair sends an email titled “Your Ryanair Booking Confirmation”. The booking reference is a 6-character alphanumeric code (e.g., B7J8X9). It’s prominently displayed near the top of the email, often under the passenger names and flight details.

2. On the Ryanair App

After logging into the app: Go to “My Bookings.” Your upcoming trips will be listed, each with its 6-character booking reference clearly visible.

3. On Your Boarding Pass

Whether it’s a mobile or printed boarding pass, the booking reference is usually located: Near the passenger name. Sometimes labeled as “Booking Ref” or “Reference.”

Important Ryanair-Specific Notes:

  • No Traditional PNR: If a third party (like a travel agent or some other booking site) gives you a longer, all-numeric PNR, you must get the actual Ryanair 6-character code to manage your booking on Ryanair’s website or app.
  • Use it for: Online check-in, managing your booking (adding bags, seats), and checking flight status.
  • Check-in: You absolutely need this reference (or the email address used to book) to check in online, which is free and opens 24 hours before departure.

In summary: Look for a 6-letter/number combination in your confirmation email or app
