What is a record locator?

A record locator is a unique code or reference number that is assigned to a specific reservation or booking. It is used by travel agents, airlines, hotels, and other service providers to identify and track individual bookings.

The record locator typically consists of a combination of letters and numbers and is generated by the system when a reservation is made. It is used to retrieve and access information about a specific booking, including flight details, hotel accommodations, car rentals, and other travel arrangements.

Travelers can use the record locator to check the status of their reservation, make changes to their booking, or provide it to customer service representatives when seeking assistance with their travel plans.

In addition to being used by service providers, record locators are also commonly used by travelers to organize and manage their travel arrangements. By keeping track of their record locators, travelers can easily access and update their bookings as needed.
