Booking file lend (ticketing facility)

An alternative to claim booking file is booking file lend. This is used to enable ticket issuance by the agent when the airline made the original booking.

The airline may use booking file lend instead of claim PNR. Booking file lend enables the agent to display a passive copy of the booking file for ticket issuance only. The ownership of the booking file remains with the original creator.
