How BR Appears in a GDS PNR

When you see a segment line like this in a PNR, the airline code identifies EVA Air:

2  BR 587 Y 15JUL 2*JFKLHR HK1  800A  2000P

The two-letter code BR at the start of the segment line is EVA Air's IATA code — every flight segment operated by EVA Air in a GDS PNR (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, or Worldspan) begins with this code, followed by the flight number.

About EVA Air

EVA Air is a asian flag carrier, based in Taiwan, and is a member of Star Alliance. Its ICAO code, EVA, is used for air traffic control and flight planning, while its radio callsign is “EVA”.

Pricing a EVA Air Fare Across GDS Systems

Once a BR 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 BR segment(s) in the PNR — the exact fare basis and rules still need to be checked against EVA Air's current fare filing, since GDS pricing reflects what's filed, not a fixed rate.

What Star Alliance Membership Means for Booking

As a Star Alliance member, EVA Air 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 EVA Air 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.

Booking Classes

Like most airlines, EVA Air'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.
