Dummy ticket price in India

The dummy ticket price in India at Flight Dummy Tickets is ₹799 / $10 per passenger for one-way, return or multi-city reservations. Multi-city reservations cost the same flat fee per passenger. A hotel reservation is a separate add-on at ₹799 per hotel per passenger. The examples below indicate the totals for common bookings and compare them with paying for a refundable fare.

The price structure in one table

The route does not change the price. Delhi to Dubai costs the same as Chennai to Toronto, because you are paying for a reservation service, not a share of the fare. Multi-city reservations have the same flat fee of ₹799 / $10 per passenger. Confirm the total on the booking form or with support before completing payment.

Worked examples

• Solo traveller, return Mumbai to London: 1 × ₹799 = ₹799.
• Couple, return Bengaluru to Paris, one hotel: flights 2 × ₹799 = ₹1,398; hotel 2 × ₹799 = ₹1,398; total ₹2,796.
• Family of four, return Delhi to Zurich, flights only: 4 × ₹799 = ₹2,796.
• Same family with hotels in two cities: flights ₹2,796; hotels 2 hotels × 4 passengers × ₹799 = ₹5,592; total ₹8,388.
• Student, one-way Hyderabad to Frankfurt: ₹799.

Children and infants count as passengers because each needs to appear on a reservation. If the hotel cost for a family looks high, check whether you already hold a free-cancellation hotel booking you can submit instead. That choice is discussed in proof of accommodation and onward travel.

What the fee covers

For ₹799 you get a held airline reservation in the passenger's name with a booking reference that can be checked on the airline's Manage Booking page, delivered as a PDF by email and WhatsApp approximately 10 minutes after payment, verifiable for up to 2 weeks, with support available around the clock. It does not include a seat on the aircraft: the reservation cannot be used to board.

Payment is through Razorpay by UPI, card or net banking. Customers abroad pay in their own currency, so the amount on their statement follows the exchange rate on the day.

Compared with blocking money in a refundable fare

The usual alternative is to purchase a refundable ticket and cancel it later. Three costs include that route.

• Cancellation charges. Refundable does not mean free to cancel. The fare rules set the deduction per passenger, and it differs by airline, route and fare class. Read the rule for your exact fare before buying, and multiply it by the number of travellers.
• Booking-platform fees. A ticket bought through a travel portal can carry the portal's own cancellation or convenience fee in addition to the airline's.
• Blocked funds. The full fare leaves your account or sits on your credit card until the refund is processed. For four people flying to Europe that can be a few lakh rupees, during the same weeks when your bank statement is being examined for the visa.

Against that, a refundable ticket fixes your fare and is an actual ticket if the visa arrives. When each option is consistent is covered in dummy ticket vs real ticket.

What very cheap or free options leave out

Prices lower than a few hundred rupees are possible, and so is free. Before choosing on price alone, ask what you are getting.

• Is there an airline record? The cheapest 'tickets' are templates with an invented code. They fail the first lookup. See free dummy ticket generator risks.
• How long does it stay live? A hold that lapses in a day or two may be gone before your appointment.
• Can you reach someone? A wrong letter in a name needs fixing before submission, which may be at 7 a.m. on a Monday.
• Is the price per passenger or per booking? Compare like with like for a family.

A free hold on an airline's own website, where the airline offers one for your route, is a legitimate zero-cost choice if its duration suits your appointment date.

Keeping the bill down

• Order once, close to submission. Ordering early and again later doubles the cost.
• Get the names right the first time by copying them from the passport or using the passport scan in the chat assistant.
• Use a simple return when it corresponds to your plan. Add multi-city legs only if your actual route needs them.
• Add a hotel reservation only if the checklist requests accommodation proof and you do not already have a booking or an invitation letter.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a return reservation cost the same as a one-way?

The fee is for creating and holding the booking, and a return is a single booking with two flights. It is priced flat at ₹799 per passenger either way.

Where do I see the final amount before paying?

On the Razorpay payment screen. Check that it equals ₹799 multiplied by the number of passengers, plus any hotel reservations, before you confirm.

Do infants need a separate dummy ticket?

Yes. Every person in the visa application, including an infant, should appear on a reservation, and pricing is per passenger.

Is the ₹799 adjusted against my real ticket later?

No. The reservation is a separate service. You purchase your actual ticket from any airline or agent once the visa is decided.

How much is the dummy ticket in US dollars or dirhams?

The base price is set in rupees. International customers are charged in their own currency at checkout, so the exact figure depends on the day's rate shown on the payment page.
