booking reference

Confirmation number given

A booking reference is an alphanumeric code that identifies a specific reservation—for flights, hotels, rental cars, or other services.

Airlines call it a confirmation number or record locator; hotels may call it a confirmation code.

You'll need it to check in, modify, or cancel: I can't find my booking reference anywhere in my email.
