An airline reservation that includes the reservation code, airline name, and flight dates—all required to apply for a Schengen visa—is called a sham ticket. Using a dummy ticket as a hobby is acceptable and legal. Even if you meet the requirements for a visa, using a dummy ticket has the benefit of protecting you from financial loss in the event that your application is denied. It is possible to use a dummy airline reservation to supply the necessary documentation for trip planning. Currently, a fictitious Schengen visa ticket for India costs roughly INR350, or $5.
