How to Split a PNR in Amadeus: Splitting a PNR (Passenger Name Record) in Amadeus refers to the process of separating a single PNR into two or more PNRs. This is typically done when some passengers in a group booking want to make changes to their itinerary, such as changing their flight or accommodation details, while others want to keep their original itinerary. By splitting the PNR, those passengers who want to make changes can do so without affecting the rest of the group’s itinerary.
When you split a PNR in Amadeus, you create a new PNR for the selected segments and passengers and assign a new record locator (PNR code) to the new PNR. This allows you to manage the two PNRs independently and make changes to each one as needed.
Steps for split a PNR in Amadeus
Before split the PNR you need to confirm which Passengers you want to split because after splitting the PNR you can again merge PNR. Please read and follow the steps carefully Split Commands.

How to split multiple name elements in Amadeus PNR
If you have 5 or more Passengers in 1 PNR and you want to split 2 or 3 Passenger from the PNR then Use a comma (,) for multiple elements or a dash (-) for a range of name elements to divide name elements into assigned and unassigned categories.
For example:
- Enter SP3,5 to divide five unassigned names along with passengers 3 and 5.
- Enter SP,3-6 to divide a range of assigned and unassigned names.
