Introduction
PNRCreate is a stateless/sessioned transaction used to create new or update existing PNRs. It can make and confirm airline, car, hotel, rail and other segments in the reservation. It also serves to update traveler information, form of payment, address and contact information and the ability to request seats, special services, APIS data and ticketing data.
It can be used to create basic PNR’s (i.e.single air segment) or complex ones including multiple air, car, and/or hotel segment combinations with SSR’s, OSI’s and other pertinent PNR data.
It returns the PNR record locator along with all PNR data stored in the provider system.
The response to the PNRCreateRQ transaction is the PNRViewRS message.
For some providers in addition to the RecordLocator the specification of further Authentication data might be required to get access to an existing PNR.
