Step-by-Step Guide: How to Print Your Flight E-Ticket from PNR

Are you planning a trip and have just received your flight confirmation with a Passenger Name Record (PNR)? If you prefer having a physical copy of your flight e-ticket rather than relying solely on electronic versions, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of printing your flight e-ticket from the PNR.

Understanding the PNR

Before we delve into the steps, it’s important to understand what a PNR is. A Passenger Name Record (PNR) is a unique code assigned to each passenger when they book a ticket. It contains crucial information about the passenger’s journey, including flight details, seat assignments, and contact information. Having access to your PNR is essential when it comes to printing your flight e-ticket.

Step 1: Accessing Your E-Ticket

The first step in printing your flight e-ticket is accessing it online. Most airlines provide an online portal or mobile app where passengers can access their booking details using their PNR. Visit the airline’s official website or open their mobile app and navigate to the “Manage Booking” or “My Trips” section.

Once you’ve reached the appropriate page, look for an option that allows you to retrieve your booking using your PNR. Enter your PNR in the designated field and click on “Retrieve” or any similar button provided by the airline.

Step 2: View Your E-Ticket Details

After successfully retrieving your booking using the PNR, you’ll be directed to a page displaying all relevant details of your flight reservation. Look for an option that allows you to view or download your e-ticket in PDF format.

Click on this option, and within seconds, a PDF file containing all the necessary information about your flight will be generated. Ensure that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader or any other PDF reader installed on your device to view the file.

Step 3: Print Your E-Ticket

With your e-ticket displayed on the screen, it’s time to print it. Locate the print button within the PDF viewer and click on it. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + P” (Windows) or “Cmd + P” (Mac) to bring up the print dialog box.

In the print dialog box, select your desired printer and configure any necessary settings such as paper size, orientation, and number of copies. Once you’ve made all the necessary adjustments, click on “Print” to start printing your flight e-ticket.

Step 4: Verify Printed Copy

After the printing process is complete, it’s crucial to verify that all information has been printed correctly on your flight e-ticket. Check that your name, flight details, seat assignments, and any other relevant information are clearly visible and legible.

In case you notice any discrepancies or missing information on your printed e-ticket, contact the airline’s customer support immediately for assistance. It’s important to have accurate information when traveling to avoid any inconvenience at the airport.

By following these simple steps, you can easily print your flight e-ticket from a given PNR. Having a physical copy of your ticket can provide peace of mind during your journey while serving as a backup in case of any technical issues with electronic devices. Remember to keep your printed e-ticket in a safe place until you reach your destination.

Everything You Didn't Know About eTickets

In yesteryear, travelers would buy airline tickets from a local travel agent and the physical tickets were mailed to their address. These days, you almost always have to use an electronic ticket; it can cost up to $20 for the privilege of getting an airline ticket in the mail, although some travel agencies will still mail you tickets.

How eTickets Work

These days, when you purchase a flight online, you're  buying an eTicket , or a ticket that's stored online. Airline and travel agency sites will walk you through the purchase process, and it's super easy to follow. After you've selected your flight online, you'll be prompted to pay with a credit or debit card. The screen will then present you with your payment confirmation receipt, your eTicket, and your itinerary. Many travelers print the eTicket and itinerary or make sure they're saved together in their email for easy access.

While some people print their eTickets at home and bring them to the airport, most travelers today add the eTicket to their iPhone wallet or keep the eTicket link open to scan at the gate when boarding.

What to Bring to the Airport

Be sure to check out your airline's requirements for checking in and boarding the flight before you start packing. In some cases, you'll have to print out your eTicket to show to the staff at check-in (along with, of course, your passport and visa, if required). You may not need to show these to anyone if you check in with a self-service check-in kiosk. You'll also be able to check in online if that makes it easier for you. 

For the vast majority of cases, though, the only thing you need to worry about is your passport. if you're traveling internationally, hand your passport to the check-in staff and they'll check their computer system for a reservation in your name. They'll even be able to print out your boarding pass without needing to see your eTicket because everything is stored online.

Additionally, if they do need to see proof of your purchase or your ticket, you'll be able to get away with showing it to them on your phone or laptop, so make sure to download a copy before you head to the airport and keep your technology charged. 

What Happens at Check-In

After arriving at the airport, go to the check-in desk and show the agent your passport and eTicket. They'll compare your ticket against the airline's database and issue you a printed boarding pass when everything checks out. This boarding pass is what enables you to get on the plane. Check out what "SSSS" means on your boarding pass .

Many airports are installing self-service check-in desks, which can help save time as there are rarely any queues for them. If you see one, type in your information on the screen (usually your eTicket's reservation number, your passport number, and/or your flight details), and it'll print your boarding pass for you. It'll also print a tag for your luggage, which you should attach to your backpack or suitcase by following the on-screen instructions. Take your luggage to the bag drop queue, place it on the conveyor belt, and then you're good to go. Head to security and then make your way to your gate.

Well prepared travelers are those who are prepared for everything not to go smoothly, so be sure you arrive with plenty of time to spare in case of problems like computer glitches, flight delays, or more.

What if You've Checked in Online?

When you check in online, you'll enter the details of your eTicket into the airline's website and in exchange they'll email you a copy of your boarding pass. You can then choose to store this on your phone or print it out at home.

Once you get to the airport, if you're  traveling carry-on only , you can head straight to security at the airport without having to queue to check in or drop your bags, which helps you save time. 

What to Keep With Your eTicket

You may want to keep a copy of your air itinerary and your accommodation confirmation with your ticket, especially if you're taking many flights over a short period of time and are likely to forget dates/times. Your hotel may take you through the same online process and allow you to print lodging confirmation. Keep these copies of hostel and air itineraries in your checked baggage in case of lost luggage . If someone opens your bag, they'll immediately know what flight you were on and where you'll be staying.

Alternatively, if you don't have access to a printer, be sure to attach a luggage tag to your backpack or suitcase so that you can be easily contacted if they go missing. Keep your flight and hotel confirmations on your phone and/or laptop as well.

Bad experience at mountain majesty guest house.

At mountain majesty guest house as a family we were scared and had a life threatening experience at this location. Make my trip didn’t help us to find another location and the owner of this property was not ready to accept the reservation. The owner and his wife asked us to leave even after showing thr voucher, they misbehaved and the husband threatens us by banging on our car. My son got scared who is only 12 yrs old. I continuously kept asking make my trip representative to refund our money and we will look for another accommodation. Make my trip denied initially. We left the place and checked in into a local property campground nearby as it was already dark and Nubra valley is not well connected with the city. . I am not sure what happened between the guest house and make my trip, we as a-family were suffered and threatened. Not all bookings were bad, this was exceptional. My request is to make my trip, that we only book through the website to make sure that we are at safe place and we can get help if needed.

It’s utterly fraud and waste of time and money

I have booked my tickets through Make my Trip. And for some reasons I had to cancel and I canceled my tickets it’s been Iover a money I haven't got my refund. I tried to call customer care and it's another waste of time trying to call different nos to reach customer care but still failed to reach them out . Another ticket freshlywe have booked though we haven't got the refund for previous ticket. I have received an email saying that due to sons reasons airlines canceled the tickets and they gave option and it wasn't matching my dates and they said they will refund full amount to make my peril because I booked my tickets through Make my trip App. I have spent hours to reach Custoner care and no luck. And I have received an email next day from Make my trip saying that your trip completed I hope you had a wonderful flight. How funny it is. ? 😡😡I want my money back for two tickets nearly 20,000 rupees . I don’t know how to reach them out. I have tried at least 100 times. We don’t live in India. I have tried to reach different ways but I can’t . Can anyone help me ? I would never ever suggest anyone to book make my trip also I would never book through my my trip app. It’s fraud

Developer Response ,

Hi, we regret any inconvenience caused. However, we would love to strictly look into the matter and resolve it for you. Please share your travel booking experience with us and let our team take care of this. You can reach out to us at https://applinks.makemytrip.com/iI912565wyb

When it works....

Makemytrip has a decent website that usually works just fine. The problem is that they make it nearly impossible to talk with a customer service representative. Searching the web for a customer service number gives few results and when you do find a number it takes you to a prerecorded message and doesn’t let you talk to a real person. The options, “press 1 for this” or “press 2 for that” are very specific and do not allow for out of the ordinary issues. The service directs you to their website which is also not at all useful for solving problems that do not fit their predefined categories. It looks like I will be moving to a different online travel agency like Yatra or Goibibo or something. Really frustrated!

How to Print Out E-Tickets for United Airlines

by Cait Hawley

Published on 31 Mar 2023

1. Visit United

2. confirmation number, 3. print or save to wallet.

With airport security lines growing longer all the time, many passengers long for time-saving measures. Before you take that next vacation or jet off on an important business trip with United Airlines, opt to print out your E-Tickets so you don’t have to check-in at the kiosk and go through the whole check-in process, rushing to make your departure time. Having your boarding pass on your mobile device ready eliminates hassle at the airport and gives you the added benefit of selecting your seats, as well as saving money on baggage fees.

Visit the website for United Airlines (united.com) 24 hours prior to your flight. On the main page of the website, select the “Check-in” tab to view your airline ticket. Whether you have booked your trip online or over the phone with a credit card, you will be provided with a confirmation number or E-Ticket number.

Enter your confirmation or E-Ticket number into the appropriate field on the airline’s website. Entering your last name in the check-in tab will also ensure a quick response time to give you access to your electronic ticket.

Review and print your itinerary. There will be a “print” button on the United Airlines page, but you can also print from the dropdown menu on your internet browser.

Ensure your printed E-Ticket shows all the appropriate information including your name, flight number and barcode. Without the barcode, your ticket will be invalid.

If you have requested certain upgrades, will travel with an infant or have made special service requests in your reservation, you may not be able to use United Airline's E-Ticket function.

Online check-in closes 45 minutes before domestic flights and about an hour before international flights. Plan accordingly to have computer and printer access at your disposal if you plan to print out a paper ticket to show at the ticket counter. If you just plan to have a mobile boarding pass, make sure to have your mileage plus account logged into on your phone to show your United ticket at the security checkpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ ) for PNR Status

✅what is a pnr status.

PNR, which stands for “Passenger Name Record,” is a distinctive 10-digit identifier assigned to each train ticket reservation made in India. PNR status pertains to the current information concerning your train booking, offering insights into various aspects of your journey, such as seat or berth confirmation, departure and arrival times, and additional details.

✅ How can I check my PNR status online?

To check your PNR status online, you can either visit the official website of the Indian Railways or follow the PNR Status Checking steps mentioned in this post on the IRCTC website .

✅ What information do I need to check my PNR status?

To verify your PNR status, you’ll only need your 10-digit PNR number, conveniently located on the top left corner of your train ticket. However, the method shown on this page eliminates the need to remember that number, as you can directly check it from the official site’s dashboard.

✅ When should I check my PNR status?

You have the flexibility to check your PNR status at any time after booking your ticket. It’s advisable to do so a few days before your journey to ensure your seat and travel details are confirmed. Checking well in advance also provides the opportunity to make alternate plans in case your ticket is not confirmed.

✅ What are the different PNR status codes?

PNR statuses can be represented by different codes, such as CNF (Confirmed), RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation), WL (Waiting List), or TQWL (Tatkal Waiting List). Each code signifies your present booking status. Specifically, CNF signifies your ticket is confirmed, RAC indicates a reserved seat that may be shared, WL denotes a spot on the waiting list, and TQWL represents a waiting list for the Tatkal quota.

✅ Is tatkal waiting list ticket get confirmation?

Tatkal tickets are confirmed directly and do not pass through the RAC status, unlike tickets from other quotas. When the chart is prepared, the general waiting list (GNWL) takes precedence over the Tatkal waiting list (TQWL). As a result, Tatkal waitlisted tickets have a lower probability of being confirmed.

10 Apps That Will Make The Most Of Your Vacation In 2024

I f you've ever spent time at a networking event, made small talk at your kids' soccer games, or scrolled through a dating app, you'll know that "travel" is something almost everyone will tell you they enjoy. Couple that with an attachment to our smartphones that borders on co-dependent, and it's no surprise to learn that travel apps are a hot commodity. Some of the best innovations in travel come in the form of apps. Staying in touch with people at home, travel planning, staying organized on the road, or connecting with other travelers? Not only is there an app for that, there are many apps for that. 

To help you sort through the plethora of what's out there, here are some travel-ready apps to make your vacation a blast. We've sourced suggestions from people who travel for a living and those who leave their local area only rarely, so no matter how often you jet-set, there is an app for you.

If your cell plan doesn't include international roaming, you can get slammed with steep fees for using mobile data outside your own country.

There are a few ways to get around roaming charges, including buying a local SIM card for the country you are traveling in, using a Wi-Fi stick , or investing in a dual SIM phone, like those from Samsung, Apple, or Google. One of the easiest and cheapest options though, is an eSIM app like Airalo . Airalo was one of the first in the eSIM game and continues to be popular with travelers. Fans of the app point to how easy it is to download and get started quickly, and how much it saves in fees. On the other hand, some users have noticed a discrepancy in how well it works in different countries. One reviewer on TrustPilot states "We do NOT recommend this plan given the extremely poor performance in Vietnam" despite noting excellent service in Hong Kong. 

Airalo is a paid service, available on the App Store and on Google Play.

Google Maps is often the default app travelers reach for when navigating new territory. It's a trusted resource for a lot of reasons, including the ease of finding reviews and info for even very small businesses. But it's not the only map app out there, nor is it the best in every situation. The main advantage of Maps.me over Google Maps is that it is based on user-generated information. Particularly for folks who are getting around on foot, this "boots on the ground" approach is excellent and more direct than reporting problems to Google Maps . It also means that if you find a cool place on your travels and want to make sure other travelers can find it, you can add it to a map.

Like Google Maps and other useful way-finding apps, you can download maps and bookmark points of interest for offline use, although the background information on locations is not as robust as on Google Maps. Maps.me also allows you to access various modes of transportation while offline, which Google doesn't. 

Maps.me is free to download and available from the App Store and from Google Play.

Cash's position as king is increasingly precarious. On your travels, you'll find cashless options in places you might not expect. The mass availability of mobile payment platforms like Square means you may be able to whip out your phone or card at Swiss coffee carts or Mexican street vendors. Wise (formerly Transferwise) lets you move between currencies seamlessly. Wise lets you operate in 40 currencies, which is particularly handy if you are traveling to several different countries. They advertise charges that are less than the major banks. However, some users have complained about complications with money transfers, so be forewarned if you intend to use this app for sending money. 

Of note to travelers is the option to get an actual bank card that can function as an international debit card with a nominal conversion fee (not all bank cards can pay by debit in countries other than your home base.) Or, save a step and scan your phone to pay from your Wise account. 

Wise is available on the App Store and from Google Play. There is no charge to download the app, but fees are charged for some banking activities.

If you are going to be traveling from place to place on your vacation, you will want the Rome2Rio app on your phone. Enter your destination and departure location, and the app spits out the options and approximate costs for each leg of your journey. For instance, if you are in Edmonton, Canada, and want to get to the Thai island of Ko Yao Yai, the app will suggest six options, labeling the best, cheapest, and fastest combination of flight, minibus, and ferry. You can't purchase tickets through the app, although there are links to book accommodation that take you to Booking.com. Being able to purchase travel fares through the app would make things easier, especially if they were offered in a package, but the absence of that feature means you can investigate and compare prices from different booking operators , so we are putting it in the win column.

Rome2Rio is free to download and available from the App Store and from Google Play.

On top of all that, he has a free app for self-guided walking tours through many of Europe's top sights called Rick Steves Audio Europe . Reviewers of the app give it a high rating (4.7 on Google Play and 4.3 on the App Store) using superlatives like "This app is GOLD," and comparing the quality of the tours to paid audio tours. On the downside, it is difficult to sync the app on multiple devices, so if you are in a group you may all be at slightly different parts of the tour, which can be mildly annoying. There are a bunch of tour sites, with more added periodically.

The audio tours and accompanying maps are downloadable, so you don't need to worry about burning through mobile data or needing to rely on Wi-Fi. Rick Steve Audio Europe is free to download and available from the App Store and from Google Play.

How many trips come vividly back to life in your mind just by thinking about that one excellent bowl of Cacio e Pepe pasta or sun-drenched sip of a Paloma? Exploring a place through its flavors and discovering new spots to eat is a beloved part of travel. In Europe, TheFork (the French version is called LaForchette) is the go-to app for crowd-sourced restaurant reviews. Previously, the app also covered Australia, but at the start of 2024, it was announced they will be pulling out of Oz.

You can find Michelin-starred restaurants with months-long wait lists or little hole-in-the-wall spots by searching the name of the eating establishment, the city or neighborhood you want to eat in, or the kind of cuisine you are craving.

The app is worthy of its space on your phone just for the restaurant listings and reviews, but if you want to explore more of the capabilities, there are ways to expand its usefulness. You can make reservations, register to collect points, access discounts and specials at select spots, and pay through the app. TheFork is free to download and available from the App Store and from Google Play.

Looking for a little love on the road? The Fairytrail app might be the ticket to romance (or ROAMance) you are looking for. Aimed at digital nomads and van life devotees, the app is a nice addition to the dating lives of travelers of all stripes. Members are evaluated and assigned a fairytale character similar to enneagram-slash-Myers-Briggs personality types, which is a new and novel approach compared with other iPhone dating apps or Android dating apps .

Because the app is focused on people with nomadic lifestyles, matches are location-independent. The idea is that users of the app will be willing to travel to each other to meet and date. There is a setting that allows an extra layer of matching: dream places to visit. If you so choose, before chatting with a match you need to have an overlapping "bucket-list" destination. Previously, this was an unavoidable step but became an optional setting after it was changed in response to frustration expressed by reviewers. The app is being redesigned in 2024 and soliciting feedback from users. Stay tuned, it seems more happy endings are in store! Fairytrails is free to download with in-app purchases and is available from the App Store and from Google Play.

Price Scanner And Converter

A very unpleasant aspect of vacationing in another country is coming home to a shocking credit card bill. Part of the problem is the tendency of holidaymakers to spend like money isn't real, but the other problem is how difficult it is to calculate prices into your own currency. Sure, you can come up with shortcuts to do quick math, but that gives you an estimate rather than an exact cost. To help, there are many different currency converter apps out there, with features like real-time rate calculation and offline capability. The somewhat clunky-named Price Scanner and Converter takes it one step further by using your phone's camera to scan prices and display them automatically in your preferred currency (out of 150 global currencies.) New iPhone cameras also have a similar capability, but it isn't as seamless a process as using this app.

This price scanning app isn't presently available on Google Play, although there are similar apps to be found. The reviews are pretty overwhelmingly mediocre, so if you are on team Android, your best bet may be to download a regular currency converter and enter in prices the old-fashioned way.

Downloading the Price Scanner and Converter is free from the App Store.

Searching through your emails for confirmations and itineraries isn't an efficient way to access your travel information. And good luck if you have used your work email for some of your planning and your personal email for others. What if you are offline when you need to find your tour details? Nightmare fuel. Tripit has created a simple user experience, allowing you to forward all those endless travel planning emails to be arranged into an easily accessible itinerary in a single spot, which you can access from any of your devices.

Other features of this include the ability to load PDFs, QR codes, and other travel documents to your Tripit travel folder. There are helpful navigation tools, like airport maps, neighborhood safety ratings, and nearby places. You can share your travel plans and sync them to your calendar. For $49 a year (or a free 30-day trial) you can upgrade to Tripit Pro for enhanced travel aid, including notifications to help keep you on track and on time. 

Tripit is free to download from the App Store and from Google Play, and you can upgrade to the premium Tripit Pro on the Tripit website or in the app.

Mobile Passport Control

The latest app from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol goes by the wildly creative name, " Mobile Passport Control ." It's a no-nonsense app with a no-nonsense name that allows users to streamline the customs experience. Rather than filling out declarations forms, users enter their information into the app and send it to border officials so they can access it as soon as they get to customs. You can do this immediately upon arrival, say as your plane is taxiing to the gate.

The app is for United States citizens and Canadians with a B-1 or B-2 visitor visa who are entering the USA at one of 33 American airports, 11 preclearance sites, and four seaports. It works in tandem with your passport, but it doesn't replace it.

As a bonus, some sites allow those with the Mobile Passport Control app to use their own (almost always shorter!) line or expedited Global Entry lines at passport control. You can enter family members on the same app and there is no approval process, just download and go.

A previous iteration of the app had a premium, paid version, but this is no longer the case. The app is free on the App Store and Google Play.
