Booking Reference
Definition: A booking reference is a unique alphanumeric code (typically 6 characters) assigned to your flight reservation, used to retrieve and manage your booking online, at check-in kiosks, and with airline staff.
Booking references are essentially the same as PNR (Passenger Name Record) codes. The 6-character code like "XYZ123" is generated when a reservation is created and serves as the primary key to access your booking throughout the travel journey.
You may receive different booking references from the travel agency and the airline, as each system generates its own code. Both will retrieve your booking, but the airline’s reference is the one you’ll use most often at the airport, on the airline’s app, and for online check-in.
Keep your booking reference accessible throughout your journey. It’s the quickest way to pull up your booking at any point. BookMyBusinessClass provides both the agency booking reference and airline confirmation number with every ticket, along with clear instructions for online check-in and managing your reservation.
