When you see a segment line like this in a PNR, the airline code identifies Austrian Airlines:
2 OS 587 Y 15JUL 2*JFKLHR HK1 800A 2000P
The two-letter code OS at the start of the segment line is Austrian Airlines's IATA code — every flight segment operated by Austrian Airlines in a GDS PNR (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, or Worldspan) begins with this code, followed by the flight number.
Austrian Airlines is a austrian flag carrier, based in Austria, and is a member of Star Alliance. Its ICAO code, AUA, is used for air traffic control and flight planning, while its radio callsign is “AUSTRIAN”.
Once a OS segment is sold, the fare quote and ticketing entry differ by system. The starting point in each is:
Amadeus: FXP Sabre: WPNCB Galileo: FXP
Each of these prices the itinerary using the lowest applicable fare for the OS segment(s) in the PNR — the exact fare basis and rules still need to be checked against Austrian Airlines's current fare filing, since GDS pricing reflects what's filed, not a fixed rate.
As a Star Alliance member, Austrian Airlines participates in the alliance's interline agreements — member airlines generally honor each other's status tiers for priority boarding and lounge access, and allow interline and codeshare itineraries to be ticketed on a single PNR. In practice, this means a client's itinerary can often mix Austrian Airlines with other Star Alliance carriers on one ticket, which matters when pricing multi-carrier routings or handling irregular operations (delays, misconnections) that involve more than one airline.
Like most airlines, Austrian Airlines's fare classes follow the standard GDS booking-class letter system. See our complete booking class guide for what each letter (F, J, Y, and so on) typically means.
