# Issue Ticket (PNR)

> Issue the airline e-ticket and receive the PNR after payment

Issue the airline ticket for a confirmed booking. Call this endpoint **after** you have collected payment from your customer. PayVessel issues the e-ticket with the airline and returns the **PNR** (Passenger Name Record) that the traveller uses to check in.

## When to call

1. Booking is confirmed (`BOOKED` status from [Book a Flight](/flight/book-flight)).
2. You have collected payment from your customer.
3. Call this endpoint — receive the PNR.

## Usage

curl -X POST https://api.payvessel.com/pms/api/external/request/flights/ticket/ \
