Passenger Name List (PNL)
The PNL is the passenger manifest for your flight. It lists every passenger on board with their details, formatted similarly to real airline IATA PNL messages.
Reading the PNL
Each passenger entry shows:
- Sequence number — Position in the list
- Name — LASTNAME/FIRSTNAME in uppercase
- Gender — M (male), F (female), CHD (child), or INF (infant)
- Bags — e.g., “1/23” means 1 bag weighing 23kg
- SSR codes — Special Service Request codes (see below)
