Record locator

A record locator is a unique alphanumeric code, typically 6 characters long, commonly associated with flight bookings. It is also referred to as a PNR (Passenger Name Record) code and a booking reference.

When you book a flight, you receive a record locator. This code is essential for checking in online, managing your booking, selecting seats, or making changes to your itinerary. For example, if you call customer service to inquire about your flight, the record locator helps the agent quickly pull up your reservation.

The record locator allows authorized individuals to access booking details without unnecessarily exposing personal information. Only those with the correct record locator can view or modify the reservation.
