Many visa applicants confuse flight itineraries with dummy tickets. While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. Here’s everything you need to know to make the right choice.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Understand flight itineraries
A flight itinerary is a confirmed booking with a real PNR code in an airline’s system. It’s a legitimate hold on a seat without full payment.
2. Understand dummy tickets
A dummy ticket is a colloquial term for a flight itinerary used specifically for visa applications. It’s essentially the same document.
3. Know the key difference
The main difference is terminology. ‘Dummy ticket’ is the informal term travelers use, while ‘flight itinerary’ is the official term embassies use.
4. Choose the right service
Whether you search for a dummy ticket or flight itinerary, you need a service that provides a real PNR code and professional formatting.

- Embassies typically use the term ‘flight itinerary’ or ‘flight itinerary’
