How to Get a Dummy Ticket Online in India: Step-by-Step Guide

Getting a dummy ticket (flight reservation) for your visa application used to mean visiting a travel agent and paying ₹1,500–3,000. Today, online services make it possible to get the same verifiable PNR in under 5 minutes for a fraction of the cost. Here is a step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Choose your route and dates. Before ordering, know your departure city in India (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, etc.), your destination, and your travel dates. For Schengen tourist visas, you need round-trip dates. For student visas, one-way is usually fine.

Step 2: Visit a trusted flight reservation service. Look for services that explicitly state they create real airline bookings with verifiable PNR codes. At FlightForVisa, you select your origin, destination, dates, number of passengers, and trip type on the homepage.

Step 3: Enter passenger details. Your name must match your passport exactly. If your passport reads 'PRIYA SHARMA', do not enter 'P. Sharma' or 'Priya S.' Full name as per passport is essential for embassy document consistency.

Step 4: Complete payment. Most online services accept UPI, debit cards, credit cards, and net banking. At FlightForVisa, the cost is ₹499 for the first passenger per leg, with additional passengers at ₹99 each. Payment is processed securely through Razorpay.

Step 5: Receive your PNR and PDF. After payment, you receive your flight itinerary PDF with the PNR code via WhatsApp and email within minutes. The PDF is formatted for embassy submission — professional layout with all required details.

Step 6: Verify your PNR. Visit the airline's website, go to 'Manage Booking' or 'My Trips', enter your PNR and last name. You should see your booking details. This verification step gives you confidence that your reservation is genuine.

Step 7: Include the PDF in your visa application. Print the PDF for VFS submission or upload it digitally for online applications (like Australian or Canadian visas). Your dummy ticket — or rather, your genuine flight reservation — is ready for your visa file.
