When
You need to open an existing booking — the client calls, a queue shows it, or your own records carry its locator.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RT Q6RBB3 | By record locator. | Fastest and exact. |
| 2 | RT/HANUSSEN/J · RT/HANU | By name · by the first letters of a name. | When you have no locator. |
| 3 | RT/12AUG-SMITH | By travel date and name. | Narrows a common name. |
| 4 | RT KL153/12AUG-JOHNSON | By flight, date and name. | The client knows the flight. |
| 5 | RT TKT/016-1234567890 | By ticket number. | From a BSP statement line or a refund query. |
| 6 | RT 2 · RT 0 | Opens line 2 of a similar-name list · redisplays the list. | When several PNRs match. |
| 7 | RT*E | Opens the PNR from a displayed e-ticket record. | From TWD to the booking. |
| 8 | RTOA/1G-APRNSZ | By a record locator of another system (here Galileo). | Bookings made elsewhere. |
| 9 | RL | Shows the airline's own record locator(s). | What the airline calls this booking (check-in, calls to the airline). |
Graphic: search bar → Retrieve → name or locator; up to six booking files open at once.
Check it worked
The PNR is displayed with the locator you expected; for a list, pick the line with the right date.
Traps
- Amadeus locator ≠ airline locator. Your agency's records should hold the Amadeus record locator
(six characters from the top of the PNR); the airline's own code from
RLis the airline's reference, for talking to the airline. - Old PNRs (four days after the last flight) are archived; see Recalling a purged (past-date) PNR.
- You can only open PNRs of your office unless another office has shared them.
