Sabre is a global distribution system (GDS) that travel agencies and airlines use to check availability, book flights, hotels and cars, create passenger name records (PNRs), price fares and issue tickets. Agents work in Sabre Red 360 using cryptic commands or graphical screens.

Agents remember them as PRINT: Phone, Received from, Itinerary, Name and Ticketing. A PNR cannot be ended until all five are present.
