Here is the complete, transparent pricing breakdown for every dummy ticket option available at DummyFares in 2026. No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No ambiguity. What you see is exactly what you pay.

Standard Flight Reservation - From $9.99 Per Person

The standard flight reservation is the most popular option and covers the vast majority of visa application requirements worldwide. You get a genuine flight reservation with real airline details, your full passenger name, route, and travel dates, delivered as a professional PDF to your inbox within minutes. Accepted by all 29 Schengen member states, the UK, UAE, USA, Canada, Australia, and dozens more. This is the correct document for 90 percent of all visa applications globally.

Verifiable Flight Reservation - From $19.99 Per Person

The verifiable reservation is an airline generated ticket with a live PNR that can be confirmed directly on the airline's official website at any time through their Manage My Booking portal. It is the strongest dummy ticket option available and is recommended for US Consulate interviews, stricter Schengen embassies, and any situation where maximum verifiability is required. Everything included in the standard option is included here, with the additional assurance of a live airline generated booking.

Flight and Hotel Combination - From $14.98 Per Person

Many visa applications require both a flight reservation and proof of accommodation. The flight and hotel combination from DummyFares covers both in a single order, giving you a complete documentation package for your application at a combined price that is more cost effective than ordering each separately.

What Does a Dummy Ticket Cost Compared to a Real Flight Ticket

Here is where the value of a dummy ticket becomes completely clear. Put the numbers side by side and the decision makes itself.

A standard economy flight from India or the UAE to Europe costs anywhere between $400 and $1,200 depending on the airline, season, and route. A flight to the USA from the same regions can cost between $600 and $1,500 or more. A flight to Australia ranges from $700 to $2,000 or beyond for long haul routes.

Buying any of these tickets before your visa is approved means committing that full amount before you know the outcome of your application. If your travel dates change after approval, rebooking fees apply. If your plans shift entirely, you are dealing with the airline's cancellation policy.

A dummy ticket from DummyFares gives you the exact flight reservation document your embassy is asking for at a starting price of $9.99. Your full travel budget stays completely protected until your visa is approved and you are ready to book your actual flight at whatever price is best available at that time.

The financial advantage is not subtle. It is one of the clearest smart money decisions in international travel planning.

What Is Included in the Price of a Dummy Ticket

Every dummy ticket from DummyFares includes the following as standard, regardless of which pricing option you choose.

Genuine PNR Booking Reference

A real alphanumeric PNR generated in the airline's live booking system. Verifiable on the airline's official website. The same type of booking reference that appears on every real airline confirmation worldwide.

Real airline, real flight number, real route operating on real scheduled services. Not a template or a placeholder. Every detail on your document is accurate and consistent with what the airline actually operates on your chosen route.

Your Full Passenger Details

Your name exactly as you enter it during the booking process, formatted precisely as it appears on your passport. Route, dates, departure and arrival airports, and connecting airports where applicable.

Professional PDF Format

Standard airline booking confirmation layout. Clean, professional, and formatted exactly the way every embassy officer, check-in agent, and immigration officer worldwide expects to see it.

Instant Delivery

Your dummy ticket arrives in your inbox within minutes of completing your online booking. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. No waiting, no manual processing, no delays.

Why Does a Dummy Ticket Cost Less Than a Real Ticket

This is a question that comes up often and the answer is straightforward. A dummy ticket is a held reservation, not a fully purchased and ticketed seat. Here is exactly how the pricing works.

When you book a real flight ticket, you are paying the full airfare, which includes the airline's base fare, taxes, fees, surcharges, and the airline's revenue for the seat. The airline confirms your booking, issues a ticket number, and commits the seat to you permanently.

When DummyFares generates your dummy ticket, a reservation is made in the airline's live GDS booking system through professional booking infrastructure, specifically Amadeus and Sabre, the same platforms every licensed travel agent worldwide uses. A real PNR is created. A real seat is held on a real scheduled flight. The document is exactly what your embassy's checklist is asking for.

The International Air Transport Association recognises held bookings as a standard part of how global airline reservations work. DummyFares pays GDS access fees to generate these genuine reservations on your behalf. The service fee you pay covers this professional booking infrastructure plus instant automated delivery. The result is the correct document for your visa application at a fraction of the cost of a fully paid ticket.

The price of your dummy ticket from DummyFares stays the same regardless of which visa type or destination you are applying for. Here is how the pricing applies across the most common visa application situations in 2026.

Schengen Visa Applications

All 29 Schengen member states require a flight reservation showing your entry and exit from the Schengen Area. A standard dummy ticket from DummyFares at $9.99 per person covers this requirement completely, formatted to meet every Schengen embassy and VFS Global checklist requirement. For applications where maximum verifiability is preferred, the verifiable reservation at $19.99 per person is the stronger choice.

US Visa Applications

The US Department of State requires proof of travel plans across all non-immigrant visa categories. For US Consulate applications where officers may check PNRs in real time during the interview, the verifiable reservation at $19.99 per person is the recommended option.

UAE Visa Applications

Whether you are applying for a UAE tourist visa, transit visa, or applying for another country's visa through VFS Global centers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah, a standard dummy ticket from DummyFares at $9.99 per person is the correct and accepted document.

Canada and Australia

Canada's IRCC and Australia's Department of Home Affairs both require a flight itinerary as a standard visa document. A standard dummy ticket from DummyFares at $9.99 per person covers both destinations completely.

Is a Dummy Ticket Worth the Cost

Yes. Without hesitation.

Here is the simplest way to think about the value. A dummy ticket from DummyFares costs $9.99. A fully paid non-refundable flight to Europe costs $400 to $1,200. A fully paid non-refundable flight to the USA costs $600 to $1,500. A fully paid non-refundable flight to Australia costs $700 to $2,000.

The dummy ticket gives you the exact same flight reservation document your visa checklist is asking for. The full fare ticket gives you the same document plus a committed airfare you have spent before knowing your visa outcome.

For the $9.99 you spend on a dummy ticket, you get a genuine PNR, a professional PDF, real airline details, instant delivery, and the complete financial freedom to book your actual flight at the best available price after your visa is approved.

The value is not just in the document. It is in the financial protection and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your travel budget is safe until your visa is confirmed.
