Deciphering Ticket
Hello! Is there a website that shows me how to decipher all the letters and numbers on my ticket? I understand all the pertinent info, but just curious as to what the extra stuff means.
For example:
OS 099 G 28AUG 6 SFOVIE HK15 2 1745 0840+1 *1A/E*
What's the G, 6, HK15, 2, +1, and *1A/E* mean?
For example:
OS 099 G 28AUG 6 SFOVIE HK15 2 1745 0840+1 *1A/E*
What's the G, 6, HK15, 2, +1, and *1A/E* mean?

The 'g' is the class of service, '6' the day of the week, 'hk' holding confirmed, no idea of the 15 or 2, +1 is the next day and the E in 1A/E* should mean an etkt. No idea about a website but your ticketing agent should be able to explain it all.

That character after the flight number is, as we said, the fare class. Or the booking class.
From what I'm seeing, economy fares from the US to Austria have at least the following classes, Y/H/M/Q/V/W, and each has subclasses. A "V" fare can be a "NONREFUNDABLE INSTANT PURCH SPECIAL FARE", a "PROPIETARY CONTRACT SPECIAL FARE" or something else.
On intra-European routes, I see additional fares like D/B/E/K/L/T, etc.
And those are economy fares alone. More for business.
However, I don't see the "G" fare, which probably is a special group fare.
Not all flights have to be on the same booking class. It's very common to have different legs on a itinerary booked in different fares.

Been in travel a while so here goes.
OS - Airline code
099 - flight number
G - class of service (there are different letters that control the number of seats at each fare and class type that is sold. You only need to worry if coach/business/first.
28Aug - Date of travel
6- day of week traveling, the airlines use a number to designate the day of week
SFOVIE - city pairs traveling to and from which I think are San Francisco and Vienna?
HK15 - holding confirmed space for 15 people
1745 0840+1 - fight times and showing that the arrival at 840a is actually the next day
