When you buy a flight ticket you receive a six-character code: the PNR (Passenger Name Record). It is your booking’s address in airline systems.
Where do I find my PNR?
- In your booking confirmation e-mail and e-ticket, usually labelled “Booking reference”, “Reservation code” or “PNR”,
- In your Kolay Seyahat account, in the booking details under My account.
A PNR is made of letters and digits (e.g. AB12CD). Every passenger on the same booking shares the PNR; the ticket number is different for each passenger and has 13 digits.
What can I do with a PNR?
- Look up the booking: flight times, passengers and ticket status.
- Check in online: on the airline’s website or app, with your PNR and surname.
- Changes and extras: the airline or we will ask for it when you change a seat, baggage or date.
How to look up a booking on Kolay Seyahat
- Open the booking lookup page.
- Enter your PNR and the surname of one of the passengers. For hotel bookings you can enter your booking reference in the same field.
- The flight details, passengers and ticket status appear. You can view and download your ticket from the same screen.
Enter the surname exactly as it appears on the ticket; Turkish characters may have been replaced (e.g. “OZTURK” instead of “Öztürk”).
Common mistakes
- Mixing up 0 and O, 1 and I: copying the code from the e-mail is safest.
- The airline’s own code: on connecting or codeshare flights, the operating airline may use a different code. If check-in asks for it, you will find it on your e-ticket or in the airline’s e-mail.
- Bookings reserved without payment: a booking made with “Reserve now, pay later” also has a PNR, but you cannot fly until it is paid and ticketed. If the time limit passes, the booking is released.
