Frequently Asked Questions
A dummy ticket is a temporary flight reservation with a PNR code. It is used as a proof of travel for visa applications or immigration check-ins, allowing you to satisfy entry requirements without the financial risk of buying a full paid ticket.
Yes. Providing a flight reservation rather than a fully paid ticket is a common practice for many visa applications. Temporary reservations are widely used as travel proof so applicants are not forced to buy non-refundable flights before approval. Always follow the document checklist for your specific visa.
Verifiable Reservations from Dummyfares.com includes a unique 6 digit PNR code. You can verify this status directly on the official airline website (e.g., Emirates, British Airways, Qatar Airways) using their 'Manage My Booking' portal.
Verifiable Reservations Validity typically ranges from 24 to 72 hours and more in some cases. Actual duration depends on the airline's automated cancellation policy and your proximity to the travel date. We optimize delivery to ensure it stays active for your appointment.
Dummy tickets are commonly used as proof of intended onward or return travel proof. However, airline and immigration requirements can vary by destination, airline, nationality, and individual traveler. If an airline or immigration officer specifically asks for a fully paid or ticketed flight, a temporary reservation may not be enough.
Dummy tickets are widely used as supporting travel documents for Schengen, US, UK, Canada, UAE, and many other visa applications, including applications submitted through VFS Global and BLS. Requirements can vary by embassy, visa type, and individual application, so always follow the document checklist for your specific visa.
A Flight Itinerary is designed for visa and travel documentation where showing your passenger details, travel dates, route, and flight information is sufficient. It does not include online airline verification. A Verifiable Flight Reservation is a temporary airline reservation with a live PNR that can be checked through the applicable airline or reservation system while it remains active.
Yes. A flight itinerary can be used where a student visa application asks for proof of intended travel or an expected entry date. Requirements vary by country and visa type, so check whether your application asks for a flight itinerary, flight reservation, verifiable booking, or fully paid ticket.
Pricing starts at $9.99 for a Flight Itinerary. A Verifiable Flight Reservation is also available when you need a live airline PNR. This gives travelers a lower-cost alternative to purchasing a fully paid flight before their visa or travel plans are finalized.
Yes. DummyFares.com also provides hotel reservation documentation. Many visa applications request both a flight itinerary and proof of accommodation, so you can arrange your flight and hotel documentation together when required.
DummyFares provides travel documentation as an alternative to buying a fully paid airline ticket before your visa decision. Visa approval or rejection is decided entirely by the relevant embassy or visa authority. Once the reservation service has been prepared and delivered, refund eligibility is handled according to our Refund Policy.
Delivery time depends on the option selected during booking. Many orders are processed quickly and sent directly to your email. Some routes or verifiable reservations may require manual processing, so delivery can take longer depending on airline availability.
Usually, no. Temporary airline reservations normally expire automatically when the airline's reservation system reaches its hold or ticketing time limit. In most cases, you do not need to take any action yourself.
A Verifiable Flight Reservation appears in the airline or reservation system as a temporary reservation rather than a fully paid ticket. Different airlines may show terms such as 'Reserved', 'On Hold', or a ticketing deadline. This is normal for temporary reservations and the exact wording depends on the airline.
A PNR, or Passenger Name Record, is the booking reference used by an airline or reservation system to identify your reservation. With our Verifiable Flight Reservation, the live PNR can be used to check the booking through the applicable airline or reservation system while it remains active.
This depends on your visa or entry requirements. Many tourist visa applications ask for a round-trip itinerary showing both arrival and departure dates. In other cases, travelers only need an onward ticket showing that they plan to leave the destination. Always follow the requirements for your visa or destination.
A flight reservation can be used as proof of onward or return travel where a Visa on Arrival destination or airline asks for evidence of your planned departure. Requirements vary by country, airline, and traveler, so check the entry rules for your destination before traveling.
Your flight itinerary, hotel booking, and travel insurance should normally reflect the same intended travel period. Keeping these dates consistent helps make your travel documentation clear and easy to understand. Always check the insurance coverage period required for your visa.
Free ticket generators may create simple mock documents that are not connected to real flight information. DummyFares provides professional flight itinerary documentation using real flight details and also offers Verifiable Flight Reservations with live PNRs when online airline verification is required.
It depends on the country, airport, nationality, visa status, and whether you need to pass through immigration during the connection. In some situations, travelers may be asked for proof of onward travel. Always check the transit requirements for every country involved in your journey.
Yes. DummyFares supports multiple passengers for family and group travel documentation. Where possible, booking travelers together can help show a consistent itinerary with the same flights and travel dates.
The term 'dummy ticket' is commonly used by travelers, but 'Flight Itinerary' or 'Flight Reservation' is usually the clearer and more professional term. When speaking with an embassy, consulate, or visa center, use the wording shown in their document requirements.
Not necessarily. Visa processing can take several days or weeks, while temporary airline reservations normally stay active for a much shorter period. This is simply how temporary reservations work. They are an alternative to purchasing a fully paid ticket before your visa is approved. If you need a booking that must remain active throughout the full processing period, a fully refundable airline ticket may be more suitable.
This is a common concern. A temporary reservation may expire while your visa application is still being processed because its validity is controlled by the airline's reservation system. Temporary reservations are not designed to stay active throughout the entire visa processing period. They are commonly used as an alternative to buying a fully paid ticket before a visa decision.
No fixed number of days can be guaranteed. Reservation validity varies depending on the airline, route, and travel date. Some reservations may stay active longer, while others may expire sooner. We prefer to be transparent about this rather than promise a validity period that is outside our control.
Because temporary reservations have limited validity, receiving your reservation closer to your appointment gives you the best possible validity at the time you need it. This is why DummyFares allows customers to schedule delivery based on their visa appointment or document submission date.
That is normal for a temporary reservation. It is not a fully paid airline ticket, so airlines may display terms such as 'On Hold', 'Reserved', 'Confirmed', or a ticketing deadline. These terms are created by the airline's system and do not by themselves mean there is a problem with your reservation.
Not normally. An e-ticket number is usually created only after the full airfare has been paid and the airline issues the actual ticket. DummyFares provides flight itinerary and temporary reservation documentation, not a fully paid airline ticket.
Because a temporary reservation is not a fully paid airline ticket. Price, payment, and ticketing details may not appear until the actual airfare has been purchased. The information shown on your reservation can also vary depending on the airline or booking system.
Not every reservation displays these details. Gate numbers are often assigned close to departure, and baggage, aircraft, or other operational information may vary by airline. These details are not always part of a Flight Itinerary or temporary flight reservation.
Different airlines and reservation systems use different layouts. A Verifiable Flight Reservation may come in an airline or booking-system format, so the design, branding, wording, and information shown can vary. We provide the format available from the reservation system rather than redesigning it to look like a fully paid airline ticket.
This can happen with codeshare flights. One airline may sell or display the flight while another airline actually operates it. This is a normal airline practice, so you may sometimes see different airline names or flight details on the same itinerary.
Yes. You can request your preferred airline, flight, or transit route and we will always try to match it. However, temporary reservation availability is different from normal paid-ticket availability, so an exact flight may not always be possible. If the exact route is important, please contact us before the reservation is issued.
Not every airline or flight supports the type of temporary or online-verifiable reservation you selected. If your preferred airline cannot be issued, we may use the closest suitable available option for your route and travel dates. If a specific airline or transit point is essential, please tell us before issuance.
Some low-cost airlines do not support the type of temporary reservation needed for online PNR verification. In those cases, we may need to use another airline that supports a verifiable reservation.
Usually, no. Once a temporary reservation expires or is automatically cancelled by the airline's system, it normally cannot simply be reactivated. A fresh reservation usually requires a new booking and may come with a new PNR.
Usually, a Verifiable Flight Reservation cannot simply be edited after issuance. Changing the travel date, destination, airline, route, or passenger details may require a completely new reservation. If a small correction is possible without creating a new reservation, we will always try to help.
In many cases, yes. A Flight Itinerary is a documentation service rather than a live airline reservation, so we may be able to correct or update certain details. Please contact us as soon as possible and we will check what can be changed.
A change to the destination, origin, route, airline, or transit point usually requires a new reservation. If your route is important for visa, transit, or immigration reasons, please make sure those details are correct before issuance.
Small corrections may be possible in some cases, but passenger detail changes can also require a new reservation depending on the airline. Passport information is not shown on every reservation, so please contact us and we will check whether a correction is actually needed.
Usually, no. Once a reservation has been issued, another passenger cannot simply be added to the same booking. If two or more travelers need to be on the same flights, it is best to include them together before the reservation is issued.
The temporary reservation may have expired. Airlines automatically cancel temporary reservations after their allowed reservation period, especially when the travel date is close. This does not mean the reservation was not active when it was originally issued.
How a visa application is reviewed can vary between embassies, consulates, and visa centers. Based on our experience, flight reservation documents are commonly used as part of visa applications, while online verification may also be carried out in some cases. We cannot predict how a particular application will be reviewed. But our customers have successfully used our service to get their visas approved.
No. DummyFares provides flight itinerary and reservation documentation for visa and travel purposes. The final visa decision is made entirely by the relevant embassy, consulate, or visa authority and depends on the complete application.
No. Airline and immigration requirements can vary depending on the destination, nationality, airline, and individual traveler. We provide supporting flight itinerary and reservation documentation, but the final decision is always made by the airline or immigration authority.
If the embassy or immigration office specifically asks for a fully paid or ticketed flight, you will need to purchase an actual airline ticket. Our service is an alternative for travelers who need a flight itinerary or temporary reservation before they are ready to buy the final ticket.
We understand that plans can change. However, once your Flight Itinerary has been prepared and delivered, the service has already been completed, so it is normally non-refundable. Please review your travel details carefully before ordering.
Once a Verifiable Flight Reservation has been issued, the reservation has already been created and the service has been completed. For this reason, it is normally non-refundable. Please review our Refund Policy for the situations where a refund may apply.
If your Verifiable Flight Reservation was active when it was issued and delivered, a later expiry is a normal part of how temporary airline reservations work. The airline controls how long it remains active, so expiry after successful delivery is normally not considered a reason for a refund.
Different airlines and booking systems use different document formats. For a Flight Itinerary, you can review the sample shown on our website before ordering. For a Verifiable Flight Reservation, the format depends on the airline or reservation system. A difference in design or personal preference does not normally mean the service was not delivered.
A temporary reservation is not designed to guarantee several weeks of continuous validity. If you specifically need a booking that must remain active for a long period, the better option is usually to purchase a fully refundable airline ticket directly from the airline.
Many travelers do not want to risk spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on flights before their visa is approved or their travel plans are final. A Flight Itinerary or Verifiable Flight Reservation gives them a lower-cost way to prepare the travel documentation they need before purchasing their final airline ticket.
No. A dummy ticket, Flight Itinerary, or temporary Flight Reservation shows your intended travel plans but is not the same as a fully paid airline ticket. A fully paid ticket has been purchased and ticketed by the airline and normally includes an e-ticket number.
