How to book tickets with same PNR number?


How to book tickets with same PNR number? 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.


Is a PNR unique to a booking?

A Passenger Name Record (PNR) is a unique carrier reservation number for one or more flights. You can find your PNR on your e-ticket in the relevant segment of your itinerary. Each part of your trip and each passenger can have a different PNR.


How long do airlines keep PNR?

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.


Can you combine two PNR?

Two separate PNRs cannot be merged into one. You can bring 1-8 people into E+ (depending on your status) by calling or at the gate. So-called linking PNR, has no practical impact on PNRs or benefits -- usually is just a comment in one or more PNRs as a note for a human agent.


Can PNR be repeated?

You only get the same PNR on the same ticket if flights are operated by the same airline. If you change airlines, each will have its own PNR anyway but they can still be on the same ticket.


What is the difference between PNR and airline PNR?

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.


What happens if you don t check in 24 hours before your flight?

If you don't check in, you won't receive a boarding pass that allows you to board the plane, and your seat might be given up to a standby passenger. The check-in process also confirms your traveler details like your passport information and frequent flyer number.


Do you have to pick up baggage between connecting flights international?

If you checked a bag, you'll have to collect it from baggage claim from the international flight. You'll need to clear customs and immigration. Next, you'll recheck your luggage for the domestic flight.


Do I need 2 boarding passes for a connecting flight?

Yes. You'll probably get all boarding passes at once when you check in for your first flight, whether you check in online, on your smartphone, or at the airport. For some international itineraries though, the airline will direct you to get your second boarding pass on your layover.
