How do I retrieve a purged PNR in Amadeus?

For travel that ended more than four days ago, RPD/RLC-A1B2C3/03JUL25*T requests the past-date record by locator (free, delivered later) and RLD shows your requests. RPP by ticket number is instant but chargeable.

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

#EntryWhat it doesWhy
1RPD/RLC-A1B2C3/03JUL25*TRequests the purged PNR by record locator (basic option, free, deferred).Most common request.
2RPD/AF7708/16JUL25Requests by flight and date (basic, free).When the locator is unknown.

5RPP/TKT-0060077000072*TInteractive 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 every RPP are chargeable. Use the free basic RPD options first.
  • Deferred requests are not instant; check RLD later.
  • A booking file stays retrievable normally for four days after the last segment and in the archive for three years.
