How GA Appears in a GDS PNR

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

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

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

About Garuda Indonesia

Garuda Indonesia is a asian flag carrier, based in Indonesia, and is a member of SkyTeam. Its ICAO code, GIA, is used for air traffic control and flight planning, while its radio callsign is “INDONESIA”.

Pricing a Garuda Indonesia Fare Across GDS Systems

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

What SkyTeam Membership Means for Booking

As a SkyTeam member, Garuda Indonesia 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 Garuda Indonesia with other SkyTeam 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, Garuda Indonesia'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.
