You need the PNR (and usually your last name) to manage you booking online, for example to select your seat, choose your meal or purchase additional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PNR is generated by the airline&#8217;s designated Global Distribution System (GDS), which could be Sabre, Amadeus or Travelport to name a few. Thus different airlines may have different formats for the PNR: sometimes they are five characters, other times six. Sometimes they are alphanumeric, other times alphabetical only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It poses a problem when you book an itinerary involving Airline A on Airline B&#8217;s website. The scenario happens more often than you think. We all book partner reward tickers using our miles, and it&#8217;s very common for a multi-segment ticket to include more than one carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If both airlines share the same PNR, or Airline A is able to recognise and resolve Airline B&#8217;s PNR, it&#8217;s not an issue. However it&#8217;s very often not the case, as I was troubled three times recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alaska Air doesn&#8217;t recognise BA&#8217;s PNR (Avios redemption)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>American Airlines doesn&#8217;t recognise Finnair&#8217;s PNR (codeshare)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gulf Air doesn&#8217;t recognise Air Canada&#8217;s PNR (Aeroplan redemption)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-logo.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"261\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-logo.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-logo-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s usually not a big deal, as you can simply call the respective airline, provide your e-ticket number and proceed from there. However, if you don&#8217;t want to make that phone call, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkmytrip.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">CheckMyTrip<\/a> comes to your rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CheckMyTrip saves your flight itinerary and can also show you some useful information. The most important feature that we&#8217;ll discuss today is <em>PNR linking<\/em>. When you add a new trip using the reservation number, CheckMyTrip can show you the alternative PNR with the operating carrier, which you can use to manage the booking online.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-gulf-air.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"187\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-gulf-air.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-gulf-air.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/checkmytrip-gulf-air-300x112.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t always work, but out of the three attempts I had two worked out. It didn&#8217;t seem to work with American Airlines, although my seven-leg itinerary might be a bit too complex!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have used similar products, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripcase.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Tripcase<\/a>, to track your travel history. The aforementioned feature is unique with CheckMyTrip, but otherwise it&#8217;s not as good a product as Tripcase in my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PNR, sometimes also called confirmation number or record locator, is a unique identifier generated when you make a flight booking.
