If flydubai cancels or retimes

  • Over 72 hours ahead: free rebooking if the flight is cancelled, leaves 1 hour or more earlier or 3 hours or more later, or you miss a connection because of the change.
  • Within 72 hours: the same applies if it leaves 20 minutes or more earlier or 1 hour or more later.
  • You may rebook within 30 days either side of the original date at no cost, or take the next flight. Beyond 30 days there is no fee but you pay any fare difference. Choosing not to travel gets you any eligible refund, unused sectors included, as a flydubai voucher.
  • Tickets from a travel agent or partner airline are handled by that company. These options do not affect legal rights.

    "In case the change is not acceptable, you will either get the cash refunds or you may choose to have the vouchers of same value."

    Hi. I had a ticket from flydubai but due to covid got canceled. Their next flight isn't till July 1st whereas Emirates is doing flights. Yet Flydubai won't refund the cash and is only offering vouchers even though their dates are not acceptable to me. Any input/help?

  13. jabran ul badar kayani20 June 2019
    I was having vouchers for flydubai of a previous cancelled ticket. While I was paying for new tickets, for half of the price I used vouchers and the rest of the amount via credit card. However, the credit card transaction could not be completed due to some tech glitch and the session time ran out. Now when I try it again, I get the message that the amount of vouchers has been used up. Although I did not buy the tickets.
    How can this amount be redeemed?
    1. Answer

      You have to get in touch with the airline for this.

    1. Answer

      Yes, you can go for the partial cancellation of the ticket. Refunds will be done on the basis of your ticket terms. You can speak to the airline or the ticketing agency (if booked tickets with agency) for this matter. flydubai does not refund money, instead it issues the travel vouchers for future date.

    1. Answer

      Refunds are generally issued by way of future travel vouchers by flydubai .However, if yours is the case of No Show, it will be very less sum that you will get back. This is one of the major drawbacks of flying with flydubai.

    I lost the flight from Delhi to Dubai then Baku.
    It was flydubai 432, 4am from new Delhi international airport.
    What is the solution if can rebook tickets.
    Please tell me about the refund.
    Does your company pay refund based on my lost?
    1. Answer

      First, we are not flydubai and are not associated with it. If you cancel tickets and reboiok, then cancellation charges would be deducated if tickets are refundable. It pays refunds in terms of travel vouchers for future date. Alternatively, you can change the itinerary if cancellation is not needed.

    I actually demand the compensation for the delay of my baggage. Actually my flight was on 10 September 2018 ( From Dubai to Asmara). The Timing of the flight to board was 3.40 AM. After reaching the destination, the officials told us that the baggage’s have not arrived and you need to come tomorrow early morning to collect the luggage. On account of this , we requested the officials to provide the compensation for the delay of the luggage , but they said they don’t usually provide the compensation. I enquirer even in the Office of the Fly Dubai and they were telling us to enquirer with the airport officials. As per the norms given in the website a sum of 50 USD dollars will be provided, but the officials here have no response. What am I to do?. Kindly reply.I have the photo copies of the boarding pass and baggage claim . If needed I can attach .

    1. Answer

      Please note that the refunds are to be given by whosoever booked the tickets. If this was flydubai, it is the airline which will give refunds. However, flydubai offers travel vouchers for future travel instead of refunds. So, you are not likely to get cash or credit into account. 

      Also, please note that we are not associated with any airline. So, you have to contact the airline itself at its contact number.

    1. Answer

      It is unfortunate that you had this experience. flydubai offer vouchers in place of refunds. We are not related to any airline in anyway. In that respect, we are quite independent. And, for your refund request, you will have to follow up with the airline on which ticket was booked.
