Dear Dimers,

First of all my dandwat pranaams to this community for posting thousands of deals- where I have easily saved a few thousands myself. May this tribe grow and may its benefits extend to more smartly shopping Indians.

I need help with a flight itinerary for Japan tourist visa purposes- haven't booked the flight+hotel yet waiting on visa approval. I am looking for a free tool to generate a dummy ticket- could not find this discussion posted here hence this one. A dummy ticket is different from a fake ticket (which is not worth the paper it is printed on) - as it is verifiable by the visa officer should they decide to check the PNR on the airline website, at least till the visa is issued.. they are on-hold PNRs typically held by airlines for 48hours up to maybe even 3 weeks.. it is a good idea to book them as close to the visa appointment as possible.. they are obviously the smarter & safer approach to paying full fare as you lose much much less if the visa is rejected for whatever reason.. so of the more experienced travellers I ask..

Q1. Do I really need a dummy ticket or even a fake ticket will do for Japanese tourist visa for Indians?

Q2. Is it possible to generate dummy tickets for free? Yatra does not provide it despite claiming to hold tickets for free https://www.yatra.com/online/hold-flights-for-f....

Here are some paid tools I found

1. https://visatravelm.com/dummy-air-t...t/ ₹699/head round trip

2. https://www.travanya.com/dummy-flight-t...t/ ₹500/head round trip

3. https://dummy-ticke...om ₹472/head 1-2 weeks validity, verifiable PNR, no changes

But in true dimer spirit I am looking for something free! free! free! Please advise on both counts - do I need dummy tickets and what's the best place to get them?

TIA!

Hello! It’s great to see your enthusiasm for smart shopping and travel planning. Let’s address your questions:

Q1. Do I really need a dummy ticket or even a fake ticket will do for Japanese tourist visa for Indians?

As per the information available on the Embassy of Japan in India’s website1, they have not explicitly mentioned the requirement of a flight itinerary for the visa application. However, it’s always a good idea to check with the embassy or consulate directly or refer to their official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information1.

Q2. Is it possible to generate dummy tickets for free?

There are a few websites that claim to generate dummy flight tickets for free. Here are a couple of them:

  1. Onward Flight Ticket2: This website generates a dummy ticket with real flight information and your name. The PDF ticket is delivered via email instantly. However, the ticket you receive is not a real ticket and does not contain a verifiable PNR.

  2. KeyFlight3: This website also allows you to generate a dummy flight ticket. However, to generate a verifiable flight ticket, you need a PNR number. The responsibility for its usage lies solely with you.

Please note that these tickets are not real and are intended for illustrative purposes only. The responsibility for their use lies solely with you. Also, using fake or dummy tickets might have legal implications, so it’s always advisable to check with the respective authorities before using them.

In the spirit of being a true ‘dimer’, I understand your preference for free options. However, please remember that sometimes, paying a small fee for a service can save you from potential complications down the line. Safe travels! 😊

Book FULLY refundable flights with a fancy airline like Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific. Will have to pay full amount upfront and get refunded later. This only works if your flight is a few weeks+ out though.


Do NOT submit fake tickets for any visa ever. Dummy might be okay but I wouldn't take the chance honestly.

Flight itinerary differs from flight ticket. I use email from ticket agent as itinerary. (used for Australia). 

If flight ticket is required, will suggest to book cancellable flight (money stuck temporarily) rather than editing out or using websites which you are not sure about
