SpiceJet Dummy Ticket

A SpiceJet dummy ticket is a real seat held on an SG flight, carrying SpiceJet's own PNR. It is a reservation, not a purchased ticket, and it expires — which is exactly what makes it useful while a visa is pending.

SpiceJet's network moves more than most, so check that the flight in your reservation is still scheduled for your travel date before you build a file around it.

About the airline

• SpiceJet (SG) is a low-cost carrier based at Delhi and Mumbai
• It flies domestic India, the Gulf and nearby international routes
• Reservations are checked on its Manage My Booking page

Verifying your SG reservation

Open SpiceJet's website, find Manage My Booking, and enter the PNR with the surname exactly as printed on the reservation. Your itinerary should come back with the flight, date and passenger name matching your document. Do this before you submit anything — a reference that returns nothing is worse than no document at all, because it turns a paperwork question into a credibility question.

What you receive

A PDF in the standard itinerary layout showing SpiceJet, the flight number, route, dates and passenger names as they appear in the passport you are applying with, plus the PNR. It is emailed once the hold exists — no PNR, no email.

Two honest limits

Whether a particular SG fare can be held depends on the route, the class and the date, so the search shows what is actually available rather than promising a specific flight. And a minority of consulates require a confirmed, paid ticket; where that is the requirement, no reservation on any airline satisfies it. Check the checklist for your mission first.
