How to Confirm a Flight Reservation

Confirm your airline reservations prior to departure.

Confirming your flight reservation is an important step in preparing for travel. Before you depart for the airport you need to make sure your reservation is correct and check the time of your departure to ensure you make it to the airport in time. Fortunately, confirming your flight reservation is one of the easier aspects of travel.

Instructions

1. Call your airline's reservation number to confirm your flight reservations. Follow the automated prompts to confirm your reservation using your purchase confirmation number, or to direct yourself to an airline reservations specialist to confirm your flight reservation.

2. Visit your airline's website to check your flight reservation online. Log in to your account and locate the "Existing Reservations" link to view your reservation. Your online reservation shows the date, time of departure and the seats you are booked for on your flight.

3. Refer to the confirmation email you received when booking your flight -- email confirmations are provided to airline passengers that book flights online. Confirmation emails from airlines include the date, time and details of your flight reservation.
