Do you know that the travel industry has its own spelling alphabet? The spelling alphabet was developed to avoid the confusions that might occur by transmitting a message containing letters as a result of the coexistence of multiple alphabets naming systems. For example, we can use it by spelling booking reference/code (PNR),  travellers  surname and name, or e-mail etc.




So, here is eTraveller spelling alphabet:
A – Alpha
B – Bravo
C – Charlie
D – Delta
E – Echo
F – Foxtrot
G – Golf
H – Hotel
I – India
J – Juliet
K – Kilo
L – Lima
M – Mike
N – November
O – Oscar
P – Papa
Q – Quebec
R – Romeo
S – Sierra
T – Tango
U – Uniform
V – Victor
W – Whiskey
X – X-ray
Y – Yankee
For example, the booking code “AJEDRT” you will spell like “Alpha, Juliet, Echo, Delta, Romeo, Tango” and be sure that the Travel/Airline agent will understand you easily.
Try to use this spelling alphabet every time when you speak to Travel or Airline agent and you will see that shortly you learn it by heart. The communication will be easy and pleasant and you will avoid misunderstanding by spelling a message that contains letters.
