What does "IDOS" mean on a passenger manifest?
On a recent flight from Vienna to Zurich the flight attendant left the passenger manifest on the seat next to me and I took the liberty to study it in detail. What does "IDOS" mean? It appeared next to two passengers' names in the same column in which "SEN" appeared next to my name. Any ideas? Thanks, ps

Just a guess, could be Austrian Airlines employees travelling on "ID" tickets... I'm probably stretching it a bit there though

You may be right though. The passenger manifest was divided into three sections (*G, *S and ID), and the "IDOS" people appeared in the "ID" section. Puzzle solved? That was quick, thanks!

As long as they don't have "IDIOT" next to your name, you're fine!

maybe it is just a typo and was supposed to read "idiots"?

Funny you say that as I had myself wondered whether airlines use code for "troublemaker" or "pain in the a***" .......

Flew EWR-FRA with LH a while back. A lot of ID<XX> in C. Had no clue what it meant then, but now I know

We would routinely ask if their ticket nr/pnr was "ID10T" which made things a little less obvious
