When
You need a booking whose travel ended more than four days ago — a refund query, a client complaint, a BSP statement line to explain.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RPD/RLC-A1B2C3/03JUL25*T | Requests the purged PNR by record locator (basic option, free, deferred). | Most common request. |
| 2 | RPD/AF7708/16JUL25 | Requests by flight and date (basic, free). | When the locator is unknown. |
| 3 | RLD | Shows your office's request list with statuses. | Deferred requests arrive later. |
| 4 | RLD 4 | Opens a retrieved past-date record from the list. | Read it. |
| 5 | RPP/TKT-0060077000072*T | Interactive recall by ticket number (premium, chargeable). | Only when you need it now. |
Check it worked
The past-date record (PDR) opens read-only, with its history (RH) and TST data (RPP/TST).
Traps
- Premium recalls cost money —
RPD … LH/…,RPD-office…,RPD/FFN…and everyRPPare chargeable. Use the free basicRPDoptions first. - Deferred requests are not instant; check
RLDlater. - A booking file stays retrievable normally for four days after the last segment and in the archive for three years.
