So that the passenger does not get lost during the trip, after buying an air ticket, he receives several important documents. They will definitely meet all sorts of codes, numbers, letters and abbreviations, which at first glance may puzzle with their incomprehensibility. What is a booking code and where can I find it? Why are airports marked with some letters, and it is not always possible to make out the actual destination? We will clearly tell you about everything: about the booking code, flight number and other designations.
Booking code
You may come across the following concepts - and they are all synonyms:
- booking code
- booking numbers
- Reservation number
- travel booking confirmation
- Order number
- supplier confirmation number (very rare)
Where to find the booking code on the ticket

Booking number is a code, usually consisting of a combination of numbers and letters. However, it can also be a purely numeric or alphabetic sequence. Often this can be found if the ticket is purchased through a travel agent.
The Booking Code helps the tour operator or airline to match the booking with the related services. The booking code remains the same for all passengers of the same booking. For example, all family members receive the same booking number if their tickets were purchased together. At the same time, the booking code can apply to several flights at once, for example, include round trip flight, as well as connecting flights.

Often the booking number is required to receive boarding passes when checking in at the airport. You will need the same booking number if you decide to check in online on the airline's website yourself.
Advice: remember, for any check-in - both at the airport and online - you will need a booking code and an identity document proving your identity, which indicates your identification number (passport number). Prepare them ahead of time and keep them around.
After check-in, you will receive a boarding pass, which you will have to present at the security control at the boarding gate and at the entrance to the aircraft. On the boarding pass you will find information such as: gate number, flight number, boarding time (Boarding Time), aircraft departure time (Departure Time), your seat in the cabin, the booking class (Economy, Business, First) and usually the booking code.

Flight number
The flight number can be compared to the number of a bus or tram line. It identifies a specific air traffic and remains unchanged as long as the airline serves this route in its flight schedule.
The flight number is made up of the IATA code of the operating airline (1-3 letters) and a maximum of 5 digits that define the route. That is, each new flight does not have its own unique nonce.
Flight number examples
- DE143 >> Antalya - Frankfurt with Condor (=DE)
- AB6894 >> Stuttgart - Sylt with Airberlin (=AB)
- 4U2823 >> Milan - Stuttgart with Germanwings (=4U)
- LH817 >> Gothenburg - Frankfurt with Lufthansa (=LH)
- FR4026 >> Karlsruhe-London-Stansted with Ryanair (=FR)

What is the flight number for?
Airlines, airports, and flight safety use the flight number for "operational reasons" and use it as a guide for passengers.
On the information boards at the airport, flight numbers can always be found under the heading "flight" and you can understand which airline and which route it is.
IATA codes
Another designation that will appear on your travel documents is IATA codes (IATA codes). They are issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and are unique to each airport, each landing site and each airline.
Airports receive a code consisting of 3 letters of the Latin alphabet, for example: MUC for Munich. These designations help avoid confusion between airports and airlines.
As an example, consider the meaning of the IATA code for the city of London
There are 6 airports in the city. If the name of the airport coincided with the name of the city, then it would not be clear which airport in London is being referred to. Therefore, for example, at Heathrow Airport, the largest London airport, the code is LHR, and, for example, London Gatwick Airport is indicated by the LGW code, and so on.
Advice: When booking a trip, always pay attention to the airport code! Thus, you will not find yourself in a situation where the airport of arrival is outside the city, and you did not know about it. Some low-cost carriers, such as Ryanair or Easyjet, out of ignorance of travelers, specifically serve flights from regional airports. Working with such airports, airlines incur lower costs, for example, lower airport duties.

Buying tickets online
Today, buying tickets via the Internet is not only convenient and fashionable, but also economically justified. Thanks to this service, you can choose the shortest route at the most affordable cost. In addition, the passenger gets the opportunity to pay without leaving home, which significantly speeds up this process.
Experienced travelers have long had proven intermediaries through which they make purchases and do not doubt their honesty. But beginners run the risk of falling into the hands of scammers and ruining their vacation. However, here the PNR code will come to the rescue in electronic ticket. This simple combination of letters and numbers is found on every e-mail itinerary receipt and includes a lot of useful information.
Therefore, if you bought tickets on the site for the first time and doubt their authenticity, then open the letter from the airline and let's study the document sent to you.
Itinerary receipt: what is it
Remember that each airline must issue an itinerary receipt for the passenger. When buying a ticket via the Internet, it is compiled almost instantly (after payment) and is generated automatically by the system. Then this document gets on mail of the client. Usually from payment to receipt of a ticket does not pass even ten minutes.
The itinerary receipt contains all the information about the passenger and his flight, while its appearance is not regulated in any way. Each company has its own rules by which data is located and grouped on the ticket. Therefore, do not be surprised if you see completely different itinerary receipts purchased through different services.
Keep in mind that you can print your e-ticket before boarding the flight, but this is not necessary, because all the data about you is already entered into the airline's database. If you still want to print the document, then do it on a regular sheet. Even in this form, it is an official document that is suitable for strict reporting in the accounting department of your company and other organizations.
Features of the electronic ticket
Many older Russians prefer to buy tickets still at the box office so that after payment they can keep it in their hands and definitely not worry about any trifles. However, an electronic itinerary receipt has a lot of its advantages and features that I would like to mention:
- ticket to in electronic format does not have a letterhead and cannot be touched;
- it cannot be lost;
- itinerary receipt cannot be forged;
- e-ticket cannot be stolen;
- on a ticket purchased online, you can check in for a flight via the Internet;
- the passenger can come to the airport only with a passport in hand.
As you can see, there are a lot of advantages in the electronic ticket. Therefore, do not be afraid to purchase it via the Internet, you just need to be very careful and understand what kind of document you received after the transaction.
Reading the ticket
If this is your first time holding an e-ticket in your hands, then you need to learn how to read it. Most of the information is written on it on English language.
First of all, find your first and last name on the form. In cases where you are going to travel abroad, check their spelling with the data in your passport. If they do not match, then you are unlikely to be able to board the plane. So contact the airline and make any necessary changes before it's too late.
At the top of the itinerary receipt are located directly your ticket number and the name of the organization through which the purchase was made. If necessary, it will be possible to check the authenticity of the ticket on its website.
Also be sure to check on the receipt the date and time of departure, as well as the airports of arrival and departure. This information is usually indicated in the middle part of the ticket. The flight number and the airline that will operate it are also printed here.
In addition to all the listed components of the itinerary receipt, it will definitely contain your passport data, the day the ticket was issued, the class of flight and the amount paid for the trip.
What is the PNR code in an e-ticket?
It is quite easy to find out this code - it is a combination of five Latin letters and numbers. They contain a lot of information about the traveler and the flight. In addition, this code allows you to find out how honest the intermediary was with you. If he really made a reservation, then you can easily check this by going to his website. We will talk about this verification method a little later.
Be aware that some receipts have a code of six alphanumeric characters. This option is also considered correct and is not an error.
Where is the PNR located on the e-ticket?
This code is usually located at the top of the itinerary receipt. At the same time, it can be applied both on the right and on the left. Often it is grouped with the order number or itinerary receipt.
For example, let's look at where the PNR is in the Onur Air e-ticket. If you pick up the itinerary receipt of this airline, you will see a six-digit individual code. Onur Air is just the carrier that prints a six-character code. It will be located on the left side of the ticket after the airline and before the data about the flight number and airports.
Why do you need an alphanumeric code?
We already know where the PNR number is in the electronic ticket, and now we need to find out exactly how to use it and why it is given to passengers in general. We have already mentioned that this combination of Latin letters and numbers contains all the information about the traveler and the flight. In addition, thanks to the code, you can find out how honest the intermediary is with you and whether he really issued a ticket in your name. We advise you to do such a check even in cases where tickets are purchased on time-tested sites.
For verification, you will need the name of the booking system through which your itinerary receipt was issued. It is usually located just above or near the PNR code. Next, go to the site of the specified system and enter your individual code and your last name on the main page. A few seconds after starting the search, you should see detailed information about your ticket and flight. Moreover, its status must be indicated. It can be the words "drawn up" or "written out."
If the information did not appear on the computer screen, then this situation can have only two reasons. The first is that you have just issued a ticket and it has not yet entered the database. Therefore, it is worth trying again in a few days. But the second reason is the most unpleasant - you fell for the bait of scammers and it's time to start sounding the alarm.
Six-digit code: advantages of this option
The six-character code gives the passenger more benefits, as it allows the authenticity of the ticket to be verified against an international database. The verification algorithm is identical to the one we have already described in the previous section.
