Claim escalated to airline

Subject: FORMAL COMPLAINT & FULL REFUND REQUEST – Unacceptable Ground Service & Denied Rebooking – Booking Ref: 01ZAQVTo: letushelp@flydubai.com / Flydubai Customer SupportDear Flydubai Customer Care Team,I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding the severe lack of customer support and unacceptable treatment by your ground staff at Belgrade Airport on September 9, 2026, for booking reference 01ZAQV.When an issue regarding my passport arose at check-in, your staff showed a complete lack of assistance and empathy. Instead of offering basic customer support or viable alternativesβ€”such as allowing me 24 hours to address the document issue, modifying my itinerary, or transferring my booking to a flight on the following dayβ€”the staff dismissively turned me away. I was repeatedly refused any option to reschedule or exchange my ticket, effectively causing me to lose my entire vacation.Due to the gross negligence in customer care and the outright refusal of your staff to provide alternative travel solutions, I am formally demanding a FULL REFUND of the entire booking amount totaling EUR 431.42. Booking & Payment Details:PNR / Booking Reference: 01ZAQVPassenger Name: Dobrila StefanovicRoute: Belgrade (BEG) – Bangkok (DMK)Flight: FZ 1746 / FZ 1345Original Payment Method: Visa ending in 5833 Total Amount Paid: EUR 431.42 I expect a full investigation into the actions of your Belgrade ground personnel and immediate written confirmation regarding the refund of my full payment.Sincerely,Dobrila Stefanovic

Dear Agnieszka , Thank you for your revert. As shared earlier, we have reviewed and updated you on your claim. The claim is in respect of Flight FZ 1840 | 14JaN2026 which was scheduled to depart from WAW airport at 2035-hour local time and was scheduled to arrive at DXB airport on 15JAN2026 at 0535 hours local time, which was delayed prior to departure due to extra ordinary circumstances by 3 hours and 14 minutes. From the outset, we note that you are seeking compensation under EC 261/2004 (the β€œRegulation”) and all flydubai tickets are subject to the Conditions of Carriage for Passengers and Baggage (the β€œConditions of Carriage”) which can be found on our website. Capitalised terms used but not defined in this letter shall mean the same as when used in the Regulation. You may be aware that under Article 5.3 of the Regulation, compensation is not payable where the event giving rise of delay extraordinary circumstances has been caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. As referred to in Recital 14 of the Regulation, political instability and meteorological conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight concerned, security risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings and strikes that affect the operation of an operating air carrier are all considered extraordinary circumstances as long as all reasonable measures have been taken by the air carrier concerned to avoid the cancellations. On the basis of the above, we regret to inform you that we are unable to take your request for compensation further. We apologise for the cancellation of your flight and can assure you that flydubai took all reasonable measures to prevent such cancellation and any other resulting inconvenience. If you have purchased travel insurance they may be entitled to make a claim and we can provide a letter confirming the cancellation for this purpose. Please note that moving forward, if you have any other inquiries apart from the above subject, we will be glad to assist you, However, any communication on the same subject will be considered as feedback only. We hereby consider this case as closed. We value your relationship and hope this does not affect your future travel with us. Warm regards, Khadija flydubai Customer Care Team

No reason given

Delay was not communicated and there was no explanation of the reason. We roved to the destination 24 hours too late. We also had organised transport from Sydney to Canberra that had to be cancelled and couldn't be organised for a day later. I have contacted Emirates through chat as my phone wasn't allowing me to call Au or any other international number and they didn't provide any solution or explanation. They didn't want to provide any help. Delay has caused a lot of problems as we had to organise the accomodation for additional day (Eur150), had expenses for food and transport for additional day, and had to extend my leave that caused a lot of problems (lost day of leave Au$500 for Tomaz and Au$400 for Nina), not to mention stress and Disruption the delay has caused us.

No food for vegetarian, no meal served to me

I have not had the meal that is included in the price of the ticket I paid for because the only option they had was chicken and I am vegetarian. I have only had a piece of bread and a small dessert. For 6 hours flight I have been left without food for 6 hours! I have asked them again after they said they would chck if they could give me something and they never come back to me. They left me without bottle of water as I did not accept the chicken so I had to ask for that as well! They did not care about my needs. I flew with other companies and they always had a veggie option. When I have asked again a flight attendant also said "Ah you the vegetarian one". This is discrimination and not acceptable

Our flight was scheduled to depart at 7:00 AM, and we arrived at the airport by 5:00 AM β€” well within the recommended check-in time. Upon arrival, a customer service representative instructed us to line up in the regular check-in queue, even after we showed our ticket indicating the 7:00 AM departure. At around 5:30 AM, I checked again with another staff member who then advised us to proceed to the priority lane. However, when we finally reached the check-in counter, the agent informed us that boarding had already closed at 6:00 AM. There was no last call or announcement made for our flight, while we noticed that passengers for another 7:00 AM Bahrain flight were still being accommodated. We were then told that we could rebook our flight for the next day. However, upon contacting our booking agent, we were informed that our ticket could not be rebooked, and we were advised to purchase new tickets with another airline. This situation was completely beyond our control. We arrived on time, followed the instructions of your staff, and yet were denied boarding without any effort from the airline to assist or accommodate us. No refund, voucher, or alternative option was offered β€” which is highly disappointing and unacceptable. I request that this incident be reviewed and that appropriate compensation be provided, either in the form of a refund, travel voucher, or rebooking option

Bad treatment after denided boarding

Today I came to DUBAI airport at 7:00 (flight at 9:20). I wanted to get the boarding pass and send my luggage, however the personell told me to wait 30 minutes and come back. After coming back they were sending me up and down saying the flight os booked. I purchase this ticket about 1 month ago, how can it be I am not boarding. So I missed my flight. Now I am at the hotel (supposedly 4 star) and is bad. Wi-fi isnt working properly, the arrea is in the middle of nowhere. Doring my 4 days stay I stayed at Hayat Regency Deira (5 star hotel), and everything much better. Now I missed to come home, my wife si mad, she needs to take care of the two small disabled children that we have (4 and 6), is bad bad situation. I ask minium compensation of 500 Eur for this damage so that I can support her as well. No need to mention I will need to pay parking at the airpott, I loose one holiday day and so on. I come to Dubai twice a year and I will not use Fly Dubai if this is not solved in a proper matter. I am angry, sad and dissapointed, so is my family. Please contact me immediately: jernej.hrovatin@gmail.com or jernej.hrovatin@tekstina.si

Successful claim

No reason given

tAKA INFORAMCJE WYSŁAŁAM DO LINII:I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the severe inconvenience caused by the nine-hour delay of flight FZ1836 from Warsaw to Dubai on 26.10 which was originally scheduled to depart at 8:40 AM but eventually took off at 5:45 PM. I left my home in Lodz at 3:30 AM, and the initial delay notifications were received while I was already on my way to the airport. Upon arrival, it became clear that the wait time would continuously extend. The gate information was also changed multiple times, which may explain why we did not receive our first meal until we were on board the plane, approximately eleven hours after the planned departure time. Initially, it was communicated that the flight would be delayed by six hours, but we ended up spending an additional nearly three hours on the plane. Due to these delays, I missed several scheduled business meetings. Therefore, I am requesting full compensation as per EC Regulation 261/2004, including: 1. Compensation of €600 for the delay. 2. Reimbursement of the ticket cost. 3. Compensation for the lack of water and meals at the airport. I trust that you will address this matter promptly. Yours faithfully, Aleksandra Kubala

Strike

My grandmother is 77 years old and becsuse of her Visa from Iran to Canada she had to leave by the end of august, she had checked in her luggage and it was on the plane and she was sitting outside the gate, due to the visa issues with Iran, she could not leave Iran to go to dubai as she would need a visa for dubai unless it is a connecting flight. The email that was received for the cancellation of her Air Canada flight AC57 from DXB to YYZ was three hours before her flight departing. She then had to go through the process of going backwards in the border and was interviewed and had to wait for a personnel to bring her luggage out of the plane for her. After 4 hours she was able to leave the airport and I repeat at the age of 77 years old she took her luggage and found a taxi at 11pm at night to go home which was another 1.5 hours of driving.

Generalnie tutaj opis co siΔ™ wydarzyΕ‚o. Natomiast linie odsyΕ‚aΕ‚y nas do siebie wzajemnie i finalnie nic z tym nie zrobiΕ‚y. I am writing to submit a formal complaint and request compensation regarding a disrupted journey booked directly via your official website, Emirates.com. Our itinerary was for a flight from Krakow to Bali on 21st June 2025, with a layover in Dubai. Both flights were part of the same booking and ticket issued by Emirates. The first segment, EK2025 (operated by Flydubai), was scheduled to depart Krakow at 23:50 on 21st June, and the second segment, EK398, was scheduled to depart Dubai at 09:10 on 22nd June. However, during online check-in, we discovered a sudden and unexplained change to our itinerary, now involving a 19-hour layover in Dubai, which was never communicated to us in advance. Upon calling your customer support, I was informed that our original connection would have resulted in a misconnection, and that Emirates made a change on its end due to this issue. After much effort and multiple calls, we were rebooked on the following new itinerary: Flight EK2434 (operated by Flydubai): departing Krakow at 12:50 on 22nd June 2025 Flight EK398: departing Dubai at 03:25 on 23rd June 2025 This rebooking significantly disrupted our plans. As a direct result of this unexpected change: We lost 1.5 days of our vacation We were forced to forfeit a prepaid hotel reservation in Bali for the first night. Our overall travel experience was negatively impacted due to the lack of communication and the last-minute changes. This situation was particularly frustrating as the booking was made through Emirates, and we were not properly informed in advance via email or SMS. Given the circumstances, I am requesting: Compensation for the lost portion of the trip and the hotel night Compensation in accordance with EC Regulation 261/2004, as this change originated from a flight departing the EU and falls under EU passenger protection laws. Passengers affected: Ksawery Kapela Wiktoria Siemaszko. I kindly ask you to confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on the next steps in the compensation process. Supporting documentation and booking confirmation can be provided upon request. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support. Kind regards, KK

Delay and Disruption: Initial Flight Delay: My flight from Bergamo to Dubai was delayed by approximately 3 hours. Unfortunately, due to this delay, I missed my connecting flight from Dubai to Islamabad. Extended Wait: After missing the connecting flight, I was informed that I would need to wait for approximately 24 hours to be rebooked onto the next available flight. This resulted in an unexpected and lengthy delay. Additional Missed Arrangements: As a consequence of this extended delay, I missed a critical booking and other personal commitments I had in Islamabad, which caused further inconvenience and financial losses.

Technical problems

the actual cause of the delay was the unavailability of a specialized technical team to assess potential lightning damage. At the airport, we were informed that the aircraft inspection by the technical team would not commence until 07:00 AM. Furthermore, at the time of boarding, we were told that there was no direct lightning strike to the aircraft, only one near it. This clearly indicates that the delay was primarily due to operational issues within the airline’s control, specifically the lack of an available technical team to conduct the necessary inspection promptly.

formally express my disappointment and frustration regarding

I am writing to formally express my disappointment and frustration regarding my experience with Flydubai on March 20, 2025, for flight FZ 0570 from Colombo. Upon arrival at the airport, I was informed at the baggage counter that there was an issue with my renewal receipt issued by questura di Messina. Despite my repeated inquiries about what needed to be done, the Flydubai staff completely ignored my concerns and failed to provide clear guidance. Their rude and indifferent behavior made the situation even more distressing, especially given that I had recently undergone a critical surgery and could not stand for long periods. However, I was forced to wait over four hours near the baggage counter without assistance. It was only when a friend of mine, who works for another airline, intervened that the staff admitted they were drafting an email to Catania Airport. By this time, it was already 12:30 AM, dangerously close to my 1:35 AM departure time. I was then informed that Catania Airport had not responded, and therefore, I could not board my flight. The way this matter was handled was extremely unprofessional, as I was left in limbo until the last minute without any proper assistance or communication. This is unacceptable customer service. I have been living in Italy for over 20 years and have traveled frequently, but this was my first time flying with Flydubaiβ€”and it was a deeply disappointing experience. I expect an immediate response and a resolution, including an explanation for this unacceptable treatment and appropriate compensation for the inconvenience, stress, and financial loss caused. I look forward to your prompt response.

I was flying with three children close in age, 9 months, 2 years and 4 years old. When I got off the plane tired with three children, my phone was dead to take pictures of the babies' stroller. And I didn't have the strength to wait and sort out the situation. My children were crying loudly. I was very upset that no one came to me for help! I left the stroller there.

We were a family with 3 kids, one of them one year old.We had book a transfer at the destination, that was no more available, we arived at the resort after the dinnner was closed. The experience with this company ant the entire trip was a disaster because of this very long delay and the lac k of communucations.

Problems at airport

On 01 Oct 2024, the check in counter for Flydubai FZ1574 opened for baggage checkin but there was no notification of the EU261/2004 on the counter. I checked in my bag and was told to stand in another queue already formed by other passengers who had checked in earlier. FZ1574 STD13:40 from Bergamo Orio al Serio was delayed and eventually departed 19:00 from Milano Malpensa [daylight saving time in force]. This flight landed in Dubai DXB around 02:45 but the shuttle bus arrived late and I reached Terminal 3 around 03:30. There were no ushers for FZ1603 STD04:15 to direct me expeditiously to the assigned Gate. By the time I checked the Departure Screen and got to Gate B3 in Terminal 3, the gate was closed and I missed the connecting flight FZ1603. Flydubai airport staff did not provide any assistance [except provide bottled water and buns] as to when I could fly back to Penang and I was told like the other same passengers to wait around the Flydubai help counter for further update. Eventually, still in DXB, I managed to change the flight destination to Kuala Lumpur on Emirates EK342 STD10:05 on 02 Oct 2024, as the next Flydubai flight to Penang was on Friday, 04 Oct 2024. I shared a room with a fellow passenger at Sama-sama hotel for the night before returning to Penang on Batik Air OD2104 STD14:45 on 03 Oct 2024. I finally reached Penang on 03 Oct 2024 around 20:00.

On 14th August, I was informed by the airport that my flight from Catania to Dubai (EK 2186) was cancelled due to technical issues. Then the airline Fly Dubai inform me that my flight was re-arranged (EK 2186) on 15th August at 06:30 in the morning, however, when I arrived at the airport, the flight was cancelled again due to the eruption of volcano Etna. Then the airline Fly Dubai changed my first flight from Catania to Dubai on 16th August at 06:00 (FZ1484) and my connecting flight (EK0306) from Dubai to Beiing on 17th August at 03:50. When I arrived at Beijing, it was around 16:00 local time on 17th August.

Last Updated:  

Last year, FlyDubai carried 13.8 million passengers according to Skytrax. Out of this number, it’s a safe bet that not all of them had a positive experience. All airlines run into problems at some point whether that’s poor customer service, flight interruptions, or mishandled baggage.  

When flight problems occur, it’s worth sending a complaint. Plus, depending on your circumstances you might get something back from the airline to make up for the bad experience. In this article, we’ll give you the contact information for FlyDubai and a few tips that will help you make the most of your complaint. 

Disrupted flight?You might have a right to compensation - up to €600Check Your Flight

About Your Passenger Rights

While some complaints might only be answered with a small discount, an apology, or a voucher, other situations can lead to compensation. Even though FlyDubai isn’t located in Europe, they are still subject to the laws of regions where they fly.

As such, flights from Europe are protected by the rules of EU261 regulations. For you as a passenger, this means that flight delays, cancellations, denied boarding from overbooking, and missed connections could all be eligible for cash compensation up to €600. As you can see, some complaints are definitely worth your time.

Before you contact the airline, you can quickly check to see if your flight is eligible in our free compensation calculator.

FlyDubai Phone Numbers

Depending on the day and time you call, you might only be on hold for a few minutes. If you’ve had a disrupted flight, you might be on hold for a much longer time. For general questions, you should call the main number: +971 600 544 445. Otherwise, you can use the number for your specific location below.

Tips for Contacting FlyDubai by Phone

  1. Have all your flight information close by. Customer service will ask for basic information about your flight like the booking reference number and other details. 
  2. Be ready to wait. Sometimes you can be on hold for a very long time, especially during widespread issues that affect thousands of fellow passengers.
  3. Phone local numbers when possible as these may have shorter wait times with lower fees.

FlyDubai Customer Service Contact Form

FlyDubai’s customer service contact form is a reliable alternative to emails, especially if you aren’t in one of the locations where an email address is provided. If you are contacting the airline to complain about baggage mishandling or flight disruptions, this is certainly the optimal choice, although there are many topics to choose from in the drop-down subjects menu.

Social Media Channels for FlyDubai

FlyDubai is active on Facebook, X, Instagram, and Linkedin. If you’re not having any luck getting through by phone or you need to draw attention to an email or form request, you can always send a direct message on social media. 

This method can provide a fast alternative to other means of contact, but be careful if you do this. If you post publicly about your complaint, you may be opening yourself to scammers who pose as airline representatives. Be sure that the page is authentic and only contact them through messenger. Also, don’t offer any sensitive information if you want to stay on the safe side.

Advice for a Successful Outcome

  1. While you may be frustrated, try to maintain a professional and courteous tone in your writing. Kindness and empathy will bring you better results.  
  2. Be sure to include all the relevant details of your situation. Provide all the booking details, dates, times, as well as a clear explanation of what happened.
  3. Add supporting documents if you have them like notes from previous conversation with airline representatives, photos, etc. These will validate your complaint.
  4. Familiarize yourself with EU261 regulations and mention these in your complaint.
  5. Follow up if you need to. It can take some time for an airline to make a decision and respond to your complaint, so feel free to drop them another message.
