💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about PNR Format Checker & Validator? Here are the most common answers.
What is the standard length of an airline PNR?▼
Global airline PNRs (Passenger Name Records) under IATA and GDS systems (Amadeus, Sabre) are exactly 6 alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers).
Why does an Indian Railway PNR have 10 digits?▼
The first 3 digits indicate the originating Passenger Reservation System (PRS) zone (e.g. Northern, Western, Southern), and the remaining 7 digits represent the unique random ticket serial number.

Older GDS reservation systems often avoid the digits "0" and "1" in booking reference locators to prevent visual confusion with the letters "O" and "I".
