Why does this charge appear?

When Air France processes ticket purchases and baggage fees through its booking and reservation systems, the billing descriptor is truncated to "AIR FRANCE*" because payment networks like Visa and Mastercard impose strict character limits on merchant descriptors, typically capping them at around 22 characters. The asterisk following the name is a standard delimiter used by Air France's payment processing infrastructure to separate the merchant name from any additional reference information, such as a booking code or transaction identifier, that may follow in the full descriptor string. This is why customers who book directly through airfrance.com or via affiliated booking channels will see "AIR FRANCE*" rather than the complete company name on their bank or credit card statement.
