Amadeus RRN Command: Copy PNR with Changes

A complete guide to the RRN command in Amadeus — how to copy an existing PNR and optionally change passengers, segments, dates, booking class, or the number of seats.

RRN is the Amadeus GDS command used to copy an existing PNR and optionally change passengers, segments, dates, booking class, or number of seats.

Category: PNR Management.

It creates a copy of the current PNR while allowing you to modify specific details in the new booking.

RRN combines the functionality of the individual copy commands. Where RRI copies only the itinerary and RRP copies only passenger data, RRN copies the whole PNR and then applies the modifications you request on top of the copy — all in one command.

Copy the current PNR without any changes:

RRN

This copies the entire PNR — passengers, itinerary, contact details, and associated elements. Use it as a starting point when you will modify the copy afterwards.

Copy the PNR while adjusting the number of booked seats:

RRN/6

This copies the PNR while increasing or decreasing the number of booked seats. Useful when reusing the same routing for a larger or smaller group.

Move the itinerary back by 3 days:

RRN/DM3

Move the itinerary forward by 7 days:

RRN/DP7

The DM option shifts dates back, while DP moves them forward. This is useful when copying the same itinerary to a different week or month.

Copy the PNR and change the class of service:

RRN/CY

This copies the PNR and applies the new booking class across the copied segments.

RRN/P3

Copies the PNR with all elements associated with passenger 3.

RRN/P1-3

Copies the PNR for passengers 1 through 3. Useful when only part of the original group is being carried across to the new booking.

RRN/S5

Copies the PNR for segment 5 only.

RRN/S3-5

Copies the PNR for segments 3 through 5.

Copy the PNR and change the departure date of one segment:

RRN/S4D23JUN

This copies the PNR and changes the departure date of segment 4 to 23 June. Other segments keep their original dates.

Combine passenger selection, date changes, and segment exclusion in one entry:

RRN/P1,2/S4D11NOV/S7D8NOV/SX5,6

This copies the PNR for passengers 1 and 2, changes the departure date of segment 4 to 11 November and segment 7 to 8 November, and excludes segments 5 and 6 from the copy. It is the most powerful form of RRN and is ideal for complex rebooking scenarios.

Use RRN when you need to create a new PNR based on an existing booking without entering all passenger and itinerary details again. Typical scenarios include:

• Rebuilding a booking for a different group using the same itinerary.
• Copying a familiar routing to a new set of passengers.
• Shifting the same itinerary to a different week or month.
• Rebooking the same itinerary in a different class of service.
• Copying only specific passengers or segments into a new booking.
• Adjusting dates for selected segments while leaving others unchanged.
• Preparing a new reservation that mirrors an existing one before further edits.

A typical session using RRN might look like this:

• Retrieve the PNR you want to copy.
• Decide which elements need to change in the new booking.
• Enter RRN with the appropriate options.
• Review the newly created PNR — passengers, segments, and dates.
• Add or adjust any remaining elements.
• Price the new itinerary with FXP or FXX and proceed to ticketing.

• RRN → copies the whole PNR with optional changes to passengers, segments, dates, class, or seats.
• RRI → copies only the itinerary elements.
• RRP → copies passenger-related data elements.
• RRA → copies a PNR and creates an AXR record linking the two.
• RO → copies the PNR to a new record locator at the same office.

RRN is the most versatile option when you need a full copy with modifications, while the other commands are more focused on specific elements.

Important: RRN copies segments as they are booked. If the original booking class is not available at the time of copying, the system may reject the entry or return a warning. Always verify the copied segments and availability before proceeding.

After copying, remember that the new PNR carries the same ticketing arrangements, contact details, and passenger data as the original. Review the new record carefully and update anything that should differ from the source booking.

What does RRN do in Amadeus?

RRN copies an existing PNR and optionally changes passengers, segments, dates, booking class, or number of seats.

Does RRN copy passenger names?

Yes. By default RRN copies the entire PNR including passengers. You can limit the copy to specific passengers with RRN/P3 or RRN/P1-3.

How do I shift the copied itinerary to a different date?

Use RRN/DM3 to move back 3 days, or RRN/DP7 to move forward 7 days.

Can I copy only some segments?

Yes. Use RRN/S5 for one segment, RRN/S3-5 for a range, or combine with SX to exclude specific segments.

How is RRN different from RRA?

RRA copies a PNR and creates an AXR record linking the two bookings. RRN copies the PNR and allows modifications, but does not create the AXR link unless combined with the appropriate command.
