About flydubai
flydubai shares its home city with Emirates, but it does a different job. The airline uses single-aisle aircraft on short and medium routes from Dubai International (DXB) to cities across the Gulf, the wider Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Indian subcontinent, parts of Europe and Southeast Asia. Many of these are secondary cities that larger carriers do not serve. It began as a low-cost airline and still prices in that style, yet it also sells a business class cabin, which is why it is often described as a hybrid. flydubai has no alliance membership, though it codeshares widely with Emirates.
For agents, that makes flydubai useful both for simple trips to Dubai and for onward connections. Search live fares in the IATA.co booking portal, or query the flights API from your own application, and settle bookings from your prepaid balance. flydubai fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. What is included in a fare varies, so read the fare details before you confirm.

Booking flydubai fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book flydubai fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live FZ fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. flydubai results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search flydubai (FZ) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same flydubai search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code FZ and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
