Difference between Dummy Flight Reservation and Actual Flight Ticket

 


What is Flight Ticket?

A Flight Ticket is an airline ticket purchased by the applicant from a travel agent or an airline company. It can either be an electronic document or paper-printed document.

An actual flight ticket clearly illustrates that the itinerant has a reserved seat on an airplane for departing to the host nation.

However, all embassies and consulates recommend visa applicants not to buy an actual flight ticket before the verdict on their application is announced.

We also recommend you to buy a roundtrip flight itinerary instead of an actual flight ticket for the visa application. As in the case of the visa denial, the applicant can lose his/her hard-earned money spent on an actual flight ticket.

However, there are certain embassies and consulates which may demand an actual flight ticket along with the visa application (if the need be). They do so to make sure that the applicant actually wants to visit (Schengen Visa Itinerary) the specific destination.

Difference between Dummy Flight Reservation and Actual Flight Ticket

As discussed above, an actual flight ticket entitles its holder to travel from the home destination to the host destination. On the other hand, a flight itinerary or dummy air ticket

is merely the proposed route of the applicant’s travel. The latter is a detailed travel document whereas the former is an actual ticket detailing only your arrival and departure dates.

Besides, a dummy ticket or flight itinerary cost a trivial amount of money whereas an actual flight ticket costs a hefty amount, even ranging to 1000 USD in some case.
