I can't have this bag manhandled by having to check it at the gate so I'm hoping the overhead bins in economy on this VIE-PRG Austrian flight are large enough to hold it. I have no status with OS so probably will not be among the first to board.
If you explain at the gate, they can give you a sticker that it is ok to take onboard.
