In your PNR, there is 1 line for every leg of your trip, and in each line the details of this leg.

For 1st line:

TK 693 = airline company + flight number
V = Class
14MAY = date of departure
7 = day of week (here Sunday)
CAIIST = airport codes of your itinerary (CAI = Cairo to IST = Istanbul)
HK1 = hold confirmed - 1 person on booking
3 = departure terminal
0240 = time of departure (departure airport local time)
0550 = time of arrival (arrival airport local time)
32B = aircraft type (Airbus 321)
E = Electronic ticket type
0 = number of stops
M = meal code

And "RTSVC" means restricted service - typically can only be booked as part of an itinerary and not as a standalone flight. – Apr 06 '17 at 11:18

+1. May be worthwhile to point out that time of arrival and departure are local to the arrival/departure airports. – RedBaron Apr 06 '17 at 12:08
