✕Common Mistakes
El número de reserva es en el correo.
Use estar (está) for location, not ser (es).

If you want to be explicit, say "correo electrónico"; "correo" alone can be ambiguous for some listeners.
Número de reserva está en el correo.
Both nouns need their correct articles; dropping the article before "número" sounds unnatural.

Cultural Tip
