Firstly, PNR = Passenger Name Record.

But you say globaliser is wrong for 'Locator' - as in 'PNR locator'
[Clearly Globaliser is correct, I've heard that usage.]

But you offer locator 'Record Locator' as a valid - which would be 'PNR Locator'.

YOur post makes no sense!?!
Not really, As someone who has worked for several (Australian) airlines, as well as in retail tavel, the *heneral* usage os to ask for eith the PNR or the RLOC. I have never heard, or used the term "PNR locator"). The term "PNR" also stands for the alpha-number code assigned with the PNR. So, if asked for the PNR, you could supply something like PSR2Y3 and it would be a vail response.

Whenever I have had to look something up, I would normally ask for the "relock", I might have occasionally asked for the "PNR", but I have certainly never EVER asked for the "PNR locator".
