Check PNR Status by Airline
Select your airline for step-by-step PNR check instructions
What is a PNR and How to Use It
A PNR (Passenger Name Record) is a 6-character alphanumeric code that identifies your flight booking. It is assigned at the time of booking and appears in your confirmation email and e-ticket. You use the PNR along with your last name to access your booking on the airline website, check in online, or retrieve your boarding pass.
If you booked through HappyFares, your airline PNR is in the booking confirmation email sent to you at the time of booking. It is also visible under "My Bookings" in the HappyFares app.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PNR number?
PNR stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a unique 6-character alphanumeric code assigned to every flight booking. Airlines use it to identify your booking, seat, baggage, and meal requests. Your PNR is in your booking confirmation email and on your e-ticket.
How do I check PNR status for any airline?
Go to the respective airline's website (e.g. goindigo.in for IndiGo, airindia.in for Air India) and find "Manage Booking". Enter your PNR and last name to view your booking status. You can also use the DGCA Air Sewa mobile app, which allows PNR-based flight status checks across all DGCA-licensed Indian carriers.
What does "Confirmed" PNR status mean?
"Confirmed" means your seat is reserved and your booking is active. Your flight is scheduled and no action is needed. If status is "Waitlisted", you may not have a confirmed seat — contact the airline immediately.
My PNR is not being found. What should I do?
Check that you are: (1) using the 6-character airline PNR, not any agent reference number, (2) entering the last name exactly as spelled during booking, (3) on the correct airline website. If you booked via HappyFares, your airline PNR is in the booking confirmation email.
Can I check flight PNR status using the DGCA Air Sewa app?
Yes. The DGCA Air Sewa app (available on iOS and Android) allows Indian travellers to check flight status by PNR for any DGCA-licensed domestic carrier including IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air India, Akasa Air, and others. The app also supports flight delay/cancellation complaints.
