A “dummy ticket” is a fictitious flight schedule or reservation that is presented as proof of intended travel when applying for a Schengen visa. It may be necessary for applicants seeking Schengen visas to provide application papers and documentation of their travel plans, such as a round-trip airline ticket. However, some travelers may choose to hold off on purchasing an airplane ticket until their visa is granted due to budgetary concerns or uncertainty regarding their travel itinerary. In these situations, tourists can use a number of web resources to generate a dummy ticket or short-term itinerary. These dummy tickets are not actual, booked tickets, but they do contain the traveler’s name, flight information, and reservation code.
