The Ultimate Guide to PNR Converters

For travel agents, airline staff, and frequent flyers, raw PNR (Passenger Name Record) data can look like a jumble of letters and numbers. PNRs generated by Global Distribution Systems (GDS) like Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, and Worldspan contain cryptic codes that are difficult for the average traveler to understand.

A PNR Converter is an essential tool designed to parse this cryptic text and format it into a readable, client-friendly itinerary. Whether you need to strip line numbers, decode flight status codes (like HK1 or SS1), or simply clean up the formatting for an email, our tool handles it instantly.

Why Use a PNR Converter?

  • Professionalism: Sending raw GDS code (e.g., 1. UA123 HK1...) to a client looks unprofessional. A converter transforms this into "Confirmed: United Airlines Flight 123".
  • Time-Saving: Manually deleting line numbers and decoding airline codes takes time. This tool automates the cleaning process in milliseconds.
  • Error Reduction: Manual retyping can lead to errors in flight times or dates. Copy-pasting and converting ensures data integrity.
  • Universal Compatibility: Whether you use Amadeus, Sabre, or Travelport (Galileo), standard flight segments share a similar structure that our intelligent parser can interpret.

Understanding Common GDS Status Codes

When looking at a raw PNR, the status code tells you the current state of the booking. Our converter automatically translates these:

  • HK (Holding Confirmed): The seat is confirmed.
  • SS (Sold): The segment has been sold and is confirmed.
  • TK (Schedule Change): The airline has changed the time; requires agent action.
  • UC (Unable/Closed): The flight is closed or the waitlist was rejected.
  • HL (Have Listed): The passenger is on the waitlist.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Copy PNR: Copy the active itinerary segment from your GDS terminal (Amadeus, Sabre, etc.).
  2. Paste: Paste the text into the "Raw PNR Input" box above.
  3. Customize: Check options like "Remove Line Numbers" or "Decode Status" based on your preference.
  4. Convert: Click the convert button. The clean text will appear on the right, ready to be copied into an email or invoice.
