In case you’re wondering, below is how a flight reservation or flight itinerary for visa application looks like. Notice that each flight reservation has a unique 6-digit PNR (Passenger Name Record) or Booking Code which you can use to check that the flight reservation is valid and real directly from the airline website.

You can confirm it on the airline website under “Manage My Booking” by entering this unique booking code and your last name.

Some people call it dummy flight booking or fake flight booking but it’s not. It’s actually a real confirmed and verifiable booking except you didn’t pay for the full ticket price yet because it was just a reservation.

If you order from us, we will send the flight reservation to you in PDF format ready for printing! Easy breezy.

It’s very easy to check the validity of your flight reservation.  You can Google “airline name + Manage Booking” or go to the homepage of the airline and look for the page or link called “Manage My Booking” or “Manage Booking” or any variation of this.

Click Manage Booking and you have to enter the 6-digit booking reference and your last name to retrieve your booking. Once entered, click “Manage Booking” to show your itinerary.

This is Ms Enriquez’s flight itinerary which we have booked for her.
