Description

While the authorities were busy putting together the legislative framework to ban credit card surcharge (http://uaeinteract.com/docs/UAE_bans_credit_card_surcharge_from_July_1/45736.htm), UAE’s trendiest airline was busy updating its systems to incorporate a credit card surcharge — sounds ironic? Well, it’s a fact.

Yes, flyDubai has started charging a credit card surcharge for flight reservations on flydubai.com. Ironically, this fee is listed as “optional extra” in the booking confirmation which is quite laughable.

I hope the authorities take note of this act and do what needs to be done about it.
