Dummy Return Flight Ticket

Most consulates want to see that you intend to leave again, so they ask for a return or onward flight. A dummy return flight ticket holds both legs — outbound and return — on a single reservation with the airline's own PNR.

Why the return leg matters

  • It is the leg that answers the question the consulate is actually asking
  • Airlines also check it at check-in on one-way routes, under carrier liability rules
  • A one-way reservation alone is often what gets a file sent back

What you get

  • Both legs on one reservation, with the airline's PNR
  • Your dates as you intend to travel
  • A PDF by email, usually within minutes

If you do not yet know your return date, pick the date that matches the visa you are applying for — the reservation is a held booking, not a commitment, and it expires by itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a dummy ticket have to include the return leg?
For most visa types, yes — the consulate is looking for evidence you will leave. Check the specific requirement for your visa, since a few accept a one-way onward journey to a third country instead.
Can I change the return date later?
A held reservation is not amended — it lapses. If your dates change before you travel, take a new reservation for the dates you need.
Is a one-way onward ticket enough?
Sometimes. Proof of onward travel means leaving the country, which need not be a return to your origin. Read the embassy wording, as it varies.

Best fare and a real person to help
I compared a few sites and Offline Booking had the lowest fare on Mumbai–Dubai. What I loved most was being able to call and have someone confirm the booking for me. E-ticket came in seconds.
