DECISION TRANSLATION5 TERMS FOUND
01 / CHECK

PNR / record locator

A reservation record used to retrieve an itinerary in a seller or airline system.

DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH

It is not the 13-digit proof that a passenger ticket was issued.

VERIFY NEXT

Find a separate 13-digit e-ticket number for every passenger.

02 / CHECK

Confirmed

The reservation system is showing confirmed space or service status.

DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH

Confirmed space can exist before payment or ticket issuance is completed.

VERIFY NEXT

Look for an issued ticket number and ticketing deadline.

03 / CHECK

Booking class / RBD / class of service

A letter-based inventory bucket used in availability and fare rules.

DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH

It is not the same thing as the cabin label Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First.

VERIFY NEXT

Match the booking-class letter to the fare basis and named fare family.

04 / HIGH IMPACT

Codeshare / operated by

One airline markets a flight number while another airline may operate the aircraft.

DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH

The marketing logo alone does not identify the physical flight or onboard product.

VERIFY NEXT

Capture the exact “operated by” line, date, route and times.

05 / HIGH IMPACT

Self-transfer / separate tickets

The traveler may need to collect bags, enter the country and check in again under a separate contract.

DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH

It should not be treated like a protected airside connection unless written seller protection says so.

VERIFY NEXT

Find both ticket chains, bag process, entry rules and the replacement-flight exposure.

HOW THE ENGINE THINKS

Turn terminology into a verification step.

  1. A

    Recognize the term

    The local glossary finds contract and itinerary terms without uploading the text or requiring an AI call.

  2. B

    Separate similar concepts

    A PNR is not an e-ticket; a cabin is not a booking class; confirmed status is not always proof that a ticket was issued.

  3. C

    Verify the consequence

    Each decoded term ends with the exact line or identifier worth checking before purchase or travel.
