Some airlines in Middle Eastern countries have begun to accept payments by Russian bank cards that operate with the “Visa” and “MasterCard” systems, which withdrew from Russia in light of the Western sanctions that were imposed.
Regarding the method of paying with these cards, the newspaper “Izvestia” said that the airlines Air Arabia and Fly Dubai propose to pay the price of the ticket via a link to the express payment system.
The newspaper indicated that the buyer must first make a reservation on the official website of the company, and then contact the support service in order to send a message containing a link to transfer money through it.
The newspaper also indicated that the payment process by these cards costs a fee of 6% of the total amount, and a fee of 2,000 rubles is collected when purchasing airline tickets for Fly Dubai.
It is possible to pay in Emirates Airlines using the QR code, and to pay by this method, the buyer must request the code by e-mail and upon receipt, scan the code.
