Basic PNR Interpretation

Review Questions

Question 1

The first letters of each essential PNR field form the word “PRINT”. What are these fields?

A PNR is the record of a passenger's reservation. It is stored in the GDS database, with a copy sent to the
airline's (or hotel, car or rail company's) computer system.

Every PNR must contain at least five basic types of information, which can be remembered by thinking
of the word “PRINT”:

P – Phone or other contact information

R – Received-from

I – Itinerary

N – Name

T – Ticketing date

Question 2

When a Sabre display is too long to fit on the computer screen, a “¥” character appears in the lower-
