How to Check PNR Status for Domestic Flights in India

After booking a flight, you receive a PNR (Passenger Name Record) - a unique reference code that contains all your booking details. Here is how to check your PNR status on any Indian domestic flight.

What Is a PNR?

PNR stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a 6-character alphanumeric code (like ABC123 or UGIR6U) that airlines and booking systems use to identify your booking. Your PNR contains:

• Passenger names
• Flight number and date
• Route (departure and arrival cities)
• Seat assignment (if selected)
• Fare class and ticket status
• Contact details

Where to Find Your PNR

Your PNR is shared with you at the time of booking through:

• Booking confirmation email from TheBookFlight or the airline
• SMS sent to your registered mobile number
• WhatsApp message if you booked via our WhatsApp support
• Booking page on the airline website or app

How to Check PNR Status

Method 1: Airline Website or App

1. Go to the airline's website (IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet, Vistara, Akasa Air, etc.)
2. Look for "Manage Booking" or "Check PNR" or "My Trips"
3. Enter your PNR and last name (or email)
4. View your booking status, seat, and ticket details

Method 2: TheBookFlight Support

1. Contact us on WhatsApp
2. Share your PNR or booking reference
3. Our team will check and share the status

Method 3: Airport Counter

At the airport, show your PNR or booking reference at the airline check-in counter. The staff can verify your booking status and issue a boarding pass.

Common PNR Status Codes

• Confirmed: Your ticket is confirmed and seats are assigned.
• Ticketed: Your e-ticket has been issued. You are ready to fly.
• On Hold: Booking is reserved but not yet paid or ticketed. Pay before the hold expires.
• Cancelled: The booking has been cancelled by the passenger or airline.
• Pending: The booking is being processed. Wait for confirmation.
• Waitlisted (rare for flights): More common in train travel. In flights, this is uncommon.

Tips for PNR Tracking

• Save your PNR in your phone immediately after booking
• Take a screenshot of the confirmation email or SMS
• If your PNR shows "Pending" for more than 30 minutes after payment, contact support
• Check PNR status again 24-48 hours before your flight for any schedule changes
• Airlines may change flight times or terminals - your PNR status page will show updates

Difference Between PNR and E-Ticket Number

Your PNR is a 6-character booking reference. Your E-Ticket number is a longer 13-digit number issued after ticketing. Both can be used to check status, but PNR is more commonly used for domestic flights in India.
