Question 1

What does AF* mean on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

AF* is the abbreviated billing descriptor used by Air France when processing payments. If you have recently booked a flight, paid for baggage, upgraded your seat, or purchased any other service through Air France, this is how the charge will appear on your statement. It is a legitimate charge from the airline and not fraudulent activity.

Question 2

I see AF* on my account but I don't remember booking with Air France — what should I check?

Accepted Answer

Start by thinking back to any recent travel bookings, seat upgrades, extra baggage fees, or Flying Blue membership purchases you may have made through Air France. The charge amount can vary depending on the service. Log into your Air France account to review your booking history. If after checking you still do not recognize it, you can visit airfrance.fr/en/refund to start a refund or dispute inquiry directly with Air France.

Question 3

How do I get a refund for an AF* charge from Air France?

Accepted Answer

To request a refund for an AF* charge from Air France, go to airfrance.fr/en/refund and follow the steps provided. You will typically need your booking reference number and the email address used during the booking. Refund eligibility depends on the ticket type and fare conditions associated with your purchase, so having those details on hand will help speed up the process.

Question 4

Why is the AF* amount on my statement different from what I expected to pay Air France?

Accepted Answer

Air France charges are variable and can include a combination of services such as base fares, taxes, baggage fees, seat selection, or travel insurance, which may appear as separate transactions all labeled AF*. Currency conversion fees from your bank may also cause the final amount to differ slightly if you booked in a foreign currency. Review your Air France booking confirmation email to match individual charges, or visit airfrance.fr/en/refund if you believe an error was made.
