What is a Dummy Ticket?
Everything you need to know about dummy tickets for visa applications and immigration checkpoints
What is a dummy ticket?
A dummy ticket (also called a dummy flight booking or temporary flight reservation) is a real airline reservation held for a short period — typically 48 hours. Unlike a full ticket, it is not paid in full to the airline: it is a confirmed booking with a genuine PNR (Passenger Name Record) that can be verified on the airline's website. Dummy tickets are commonly used by travelers who need proof of onward travel for visa applications, immigration checks at airports, or embassy appointments, without committing to an expensive flight they may not take.

Frequently asked questions about dummy tickets
Is a dummy ticket legal?▾
Yes. A dummy ticket is a real airline reservation with a confirmed PNR. It is a legitimate booking held temporarily in the airline's system. Airlines and travel agencies commonly hold bookings before full payment. Using a dummy ticket for proof of onward travel is legal and widely accepted.
Can I use a dummy ticket for a visa application?▾
Yes. Many embassies and consulates accept a confirmed flight reservation (dummy ticket) as proof of travel plans. The PNR must be verifiable on the airline's website. Volward dummy tickets meet this requirement since they are real airline bookings.
How long is a dummy ticket valid?▾
Volward dummy tickets are valid for 48 hours from the moment of booking. This gives you enough time for airport immigration checks, embassy appointments, or visa application submissions. If you need to sync the validity with a specific date, use the "Activate Later" option (+$2).
What is the difference between a dummy ticket and a fake itinerary?▾
A dummy ticket from Volward is a real airline booking with a genuine PNR code that can be verified on the airline's website. A fake itinerary is a fabricated document with no real reservation behind it — it will fail verification checks. Immigration officers and embassies can easily detect fake itineraries.
How much does a dummy ticket cost?▾
Volward dummy tickets start at $14 for a one-way booking and $21 for a round-trip. Additional passengers cost $5 each (one-way) or $7 each (round-trip). This is up to 20 times cheaper than buying and canceling a regular airline ticket.
