Is FDB Travel fraud?

• Flight Bookings: Customers may be charged for booking flights directly through Flydubai's website as part of their travel plans.
• Ancillary Services: Charges may arise from additional services chosen at the time of booking, such as extra baggage, seat selection, or priority boarding.
• Changes and Cancellations: Fees can be incurred if customers change or cancel their bookings, often resulting in service charges or fare differences.
• Subscription Services: Some users may inadvertently sign up for subscription services or membership benefits that incur monthly or annual fees.
• Travel Insurance: Opting for travel insurance during the booking process can lead to additional charges.
• Payment Processing Fees: Certain payment methods may attract processing fees, which can appear as unexpected charges on customer statements.
• Currency Conversion Fees: Charges might result from currency conversion if customers are booking in a different currency than their bank's primary currency.
• In-flight Purchases: Customers may see charges from buying food, drinks, or other services during their flight.
• Technical Errors: Some users have reported being double-charged due to technical issues during the booking process, leading to duplicate transactions.
• No-Show Fees: Failing to cancel a flight can result in no-show fees if the customer does not inform Flydubai in advance.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the flydubai.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the flydubai.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with flydubai.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
