U.S. law requires airlines operating flights to, from, or through the United States to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with certain passenger reservation information, called Passenger Name Record (PNR) data, primarily for purposes of preventing, detecting, ...
PNR data may also be shared with government agencies. Within the United States, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) retains PNR data. Each time a traveller books an itinerary, a PNR is created in the carrier's computer reservation system (CRS).
Passenger name record (PNR) data is information collected by airlines and other passenger service operators as part of their normal course of business and includes information required to complete and process a booking.
PNR is the abbreviation of Passenger Name Record and it is a digital certificate allowing passengers to do online check-in or manage their bookings in a short time.
Travel status of passenger (including confirmations and check-in status). Ticketing information, including ticket number, one way tickets and Automated Ticket Fare Quote (ATFQ) fields. Baggage information. Seat information, including seat number.
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.
A PNR (passenger name record) is a unique identifier used by airlines to keep track of a passenger's itinerary, while a booking reference number (also known as a flight confirmation number, e-ticket number, or ticket number) is a unique identifier used by airlines to identify a specific ticket or booking.
It depends on your booking. If your booking is for the roundtrip in the same airline (in single booking), then your PNR will be the same for both outbound and inbound flights. If you book your trip with different airlines then you will have 2 different PNRs for each airline.
Out of the 10 digits, the first three digits store information about the zone and the Passenger Reservation System (PRS) from which the ticket has been booked. The first digit denotes the railway zone which is the train's origin.
PNR data derived from flights to, from, or through the United States will be kept by CBP for a period of five years in an active status. After the first six months, the PNR will be “depersonalized,” with names, contact information, and other PII masked in the record.
PNR is required for online check-in and it is the fastest way to reach flight details. Online check-in shortens the amount of time spent at the airport and helps passengers to have a comfy flight experience.
