Dummy Ticket, Flight Itinerary and Onward Ticket:
What Is the Difference?
"Dummy ticket" is a common search term used by travellers
looking for a temporary flight reservation or itinerary.
A flight itinerary generally describes planned travel
details, while an onward ticket refers specifically to
travel continuing from the current destination.
Flight Itinerary
A flight itinerary describes the planned journey,
including the route, travel dates and passenger details.
It may be requested as part of visa or travel
documentation.
Return Flight Reservation
A return itinerary shows both the outbound and return
portions of a planned journey. It can be relevant where
an application or travel requirement asks for evidence
of intended return travel.
Onward Travel Reservation
An onward itinerary shows planned continuation from one
destination to another. It can be relevant to travellers
who need to demonstrate onward travel.
E-Ticket and Flight Reservation
An e-ticket and a flight reservation should not be treated
as automatically identical. An e-ticket can represent an
issued airline ticket, while a reservation or itinerary
may represent planned travel information without being a
fully purchased journey.
