What is a Dummy Flight Ticket?

  • A Dummy Flight Ticket is a temporary flight reservation similar to a confirmed airline ticket. It contains all the vital details of an actual reservation, such as
  • Full name of passenger (according to passport)
  • Airline name and flight number
  • Departure and arrival airports
  • Overall details regarding the date, time, and duration of the travel PNR or booking reference number
  • PNR: This is actually valid and can be checked on the airline's website through their "Manage Booking" or "My Trips" section. A dummy ticket therefore appears the same as a paid ticket.
  • The main point of distinction is that a guaranteed ticket, when obtained, will imply that it is an airline ticket which has already been paid for in full, while a dummy flight ticket is only held/tentative and unpaid. The implication is that the seat is simply held, but not completely paid for.
  • Important Note: If there is no verifiable PNR information on a ticket, it will thus be termed a fake dummy ticket. Make sure your dummy ticket can be validated on the airline’s official website.
