FLYDUBAI* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When flydubai processes ticket purchases and ancillary fees through its booking and payment systems, the airline's merchant identifier is registered with payment networks as FLYDUBAI* — the asterisk being a standard convention used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from any additional transaction reference data that may follow. As a Dubai-based carrier operating under the UAE's banking and commerce infrastructure, flydubai's billing descriptor is formatted in uppercase to comply with the character display standards used by international card networks like Visa and Mastercard, which strip lowercase formatting from merchant codes. If you recently booked a flight, paid for baggage, or purchased a seat upgrade through flydubai's website or app, the FLYDUBAI* entry on your statement is the expected confirmation of that transaction.

No, this is a legitimate charge from flydubai. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
