How G8 Appears in a GDS PNR

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

2  G8 587 Y 15JUL 2*JFKLHR HK1  800A  2000P

The two-letter code G8 at the start of the segment line is Go First's IATA code — every flight segment operated by Go First in a GDS PNR (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, or Worldspan) begins with this code, followed by the flight number.

About Go First

Go First is a asian low-cost carrier, based in India. Its ICAO code, GOW, is used for air traffic control and flight planning, while its radio callsign is “GOAIR”.

Pricing a Go First Fare Across GDS Systems

Once a G8 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 G8 segment(s) in the PNR — the exact fare basis and rules still need to be checked against Go First's current fare filing, since GDS pricing reflects what's filed, not a fixed rate.

Booking Classes

Like most airlines, Go First'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.
