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.
