Dummy Ticket for 14 Days — What Is Actually Possible

People search for a 14-day dummy ticket because they want the reservation to still be live when the consulate opens the file. It is worth being straight about how holds work.

The honest position

  • The airline decides how long it will hold an unpaid seat, not us
  • Typical airline holds run from a few hours to a few days — 14 days is longer than most airlines allow
  • The exact expiry is printed on your reservation, so you always know where you stand

What to do instead of chasing a long hold

  1. Book the reservation close to your appointment or submission date
  2. If your file is returned or delayed, take a fresh reservation — it costs a small fee, not the airfare
  3. Check whether your consulate accepts a reservation at all, or insists on a paid ticket

Anyone promising a guaranteed 14-day or 30-day "hold" is usually not holding a seat at all — they are sending a document. That is the thing consulates reject, and it is why every reservation we issue carries the airline's own PNR, expiry and all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a dummy ticket valid for 14 days?
Rarely. The hold length is set by the airline and most are far shorter. The expiry is shown on your reservation so you can plan around it.
What happens when it expires?
The airline releases the seat and the PNR stops being live. Nothing is charged, and you can take a fresh reservation whenever you need one.
When should I book it?
As close to your appointment or upload date as you can, so the PNR is still verifiable when someone checks it.
