Do you know that if you fly or buy a ticket on Delta then fly a KLM and or AF flight your record has more than one PNR assigned to it? It could even have 3! This will not show up on the DELTA.com web site or in any of the e-mail confirmations you get.
So how do you get these numbers. You can simply call Delta and ask for the PNR that has been creaded by KLM or AF assigned to your itinerary. Why would you want this number when you have the Delta one? Most of the time you do not need it and you can see your itinerary on the other sites with the Delta number. But there are times when having the official KLM or AF one are nice to have when you have to contact them once in route. So I always make it a practice to get them and it has paid off.
Another reason is for seat assignments with KLM. With Delta flights you can pick seats right away. With KLM/AF only 90 days prior to fight. In the past you could work around this by starting at the AF web site and get access up to 331 days before flight, but this seems to have been locked down now. Coach and certain fare class tickets will not allow seats and even as a KLM Platinum they are less than helpful about overriding this rule and tell you they are assigned by the airport.
Hey, I have 2 more of the new Red and Pink Nuo iPad or HP Touchpad Sleeves. So, let me know, yes or no, neither answer will increase your chance to win, if you knew that KLM/AF assigns you a separate Passenger Number Record (PNR) to win! Same as last time Winner #1 get’s color choice and Winner #2 get’s the other one – René

Yes, thanks!
No, but know I know. Thanks for the contest.
Didn’t know but I do now!
Yes ! Thank you!
I’ve been learning that about my Aeroplan redemption so I guess it makes sense for other alliances as well.
Yes, thanks! I didn’t know
I once had a problem in Amsterdam with KLM. That’s when I discovered the multiple numbers.
I knew that!
I didn’t know that either. Thanks!
I knew that as well, but I recently (3 weeks ago) booked an award ticket with Delta on AF and was able to login to the AF site to select my seats (for October). Some of the seat selections made it back to Delta, but not all…
Yes I did know that.
Nope, but good to know
I didn’t know, but had experienced this with OneWorld award tix before when making seat assignments.
Nope!
Yes and it’s a pain to have to record all of them.
No, I did not know that.
I was aware. its really useful if you need to call Air France or KLM to confirm a meal choice.
Not entering the competition, but just to add: I often get the AF/KL PNR without calling by simply displaying the Delta reservation on airfrance.us with the ticket no.
Yes, thanks!
I don’t know, sorry, but thanks!
Nope… didn’t know that until now.
Yes I knew.
Yes, I knew, but I only found out yesterday when a Delta phone rep told me. You confirmed what I had just learned. Thanks!
Yes. I was warned by a frequent traveler that the seating may not match between DL and AF. I have a FlyingBlue account and track my AF flights through both websites.
No, I did not know this!
Yes, but I only found out a month ago.
Yes thanks to the informative people at Schiphol
Yes!
Did not know, but thanks!!
No, I did not.
i did not know and still do not know what a pnr is… why is it good to have one?
Did not know that. But do now! Thanks!
No, I did not know about separate PNRs. I did know that I had to wait until 90 days before my KLM flight to call Delta and request a seat assignment.
Good info that I did not know, Thanks
Knew it…same goes for other airlines/alliances as well.
No, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!
Yes. Noticed it last time flew KLM.
No, and this explains why I can’t get seats on the euro legs of my summer trip online. Any idea if Air Europa has separate pnr’s as well?
yes they have different operations certificates 🙂
Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking at AF and KLM for a trip so this could be very handy.
I did not know but thankfully have not had a problem
I didn’t know. Thanks for the information.
no, i didnt know
thanks for the update, now I know
No, I did not know that.
Yes used it all the time
I had no idea
No, that was news to me!
No I did not; thanks!
No I didn’t know.
Didn’t know!
Nope.
