Flydubai is a major airline in the Arabian Peninsula and offers a large number of guaranteed connecting flights in addition to flights to/from Dubai.
It is transfer passengers that Flydubai largely focuses on.
On many routes flyDubai code-share with the larger and better known Emirates airline, and you will often have purchased transfer tickets where one or more flights will be operated by one or the other airline.
On routes where both Flydubai and Emirates fly, it is usually Flydubai that has around 15% to 20% lower fares.
When to buy tickets
The cheapest flydubai tickets can be found on flydubai.com, but also on traditional booking portals such as skyscanner.com.
Buy your tickets at least 2-4 months before departure.
If you buy on flydubai.com, a card fee of 3% is added to the price, which will appear just before payment is completed.
Fare classes
Flydubai offers both economy and full business class with a "flatbed" seat on its aircraft.
The different classes are further divided into different fare groups, which differ, for example, in the number of bags, the possibility of changing the ticket or the number of frequent flyer miles credited per flight.
