Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge marked ANUVU* INFLIGHT MEDIA on your statement comes from Anuvu Operations LLC, a major provider of satellite internet and entertainment systems for airlines and cruise lines. When you purchase Anuvu In-Flight Entertainment & Connectivity during a flight, your payment is processed by Anuvu rather than the airline name on your boarding pass. Charges typically range from $5.00 to $30.00 for single-flight browsing, full-flight Wi-Fi passes, or premium movie streaming.
Unreviewed registry note: Most cardholders encounter this charge after traveling and connecting a device to the onboard portal. Airlines partner with third-party satellite networks to manage connectivity, which is why the airline brand does not appear on your card ledger. If you flew recently on a carrier that uses Anuvu systems, or if a travel companion connected a mobile device on your itinerary, the payment processes immediately or batches a couple of days after landing.
Common reasons for this charge
- Unreviewed registry note: You purchased in-flight Wi-Fi or premium movie access while on board an airline flight.
- Unreviewed registry note: A travel companion connected a mobile device to premium in-flight media.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Anuvu a recurring subscription?
Unreviewed registry note: In-flight media and Wi-Fi access passes are typically one-time charges per flight session.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
Unreviewed registry note: If you did not travel by air or sea around the transaction date, confirm whether an authorized user on your account took a trip. A family member or colleague with access to your card may have purchased Wi-Fi access while flying. Check your calendar or travel bookings to see if the charge aligns with recent flight dates, keeping in mind that in-flight transactions can take up to 48 hours to clear.
How do I verify which airline processed the Anuvu charge?
Unreviewed registry note: Email [email protected] with the date, exact charge amount, and last four digits of your card.
What are my rights for unauthorized travel transactions?
A registry match cannot establish that you authorized a transaction or that it is safe. Compare the original account records. If you did not authorize a payment, contact your issuer promptly through its official channel.
