There are dozens of "dummy ticket maker" tools available online and through WhatsApp. We tested the most popular ones used by Indian travellers. Here's an honest breakdown of what each produces — and critically, whether it survives the one check that matters.
The term "dummy ticket maker" suggests a tool that creates tickets. But no third-party tool can create a real airline ticket — only airlines can do that. What these tools create are:
🖼
Fake PDFs
Image-edited documents with invented details. No backing record anywhere.
🔢
Fake PNR codes
Randomly generated strings that look like PNR codes but verify to nothing.
⏱
Expired bookings
Some use real PNRs from lapsed bookings — the PNR exists but shows CANCELLED.
None of these pass verification. The only thing that works is a document based on real airline schedule data — real flight numbers, real airlines, real departure times — not a PDF tool that generates invented numbers.
We evaluated each tool on three criteria: whether the PNR is real, whether it survives airline check-in verification, and whether it meets visa application requirements.
| Tool | Type | Cost | Real PNR | Check-in | Visa | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MyJet24 | Free PDF generator | ₹0 | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | Fake PNR — fails verification |
| KeyFlight | Free PDF generator | ₹0 | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | Fake PNR — fails verification |
| DummyTicket.flights | Paid PDF generator | $3–$5 | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | Better PDF quality, still fake PNR |
| MakeMyTrip soft booking | OTA payment hold | ₹0 (booking lapses) | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | Real PNR but expires in 15–60 min |
| WhatsApp agent (manual) | Human-processed fake | ₹100–₹999 | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | Photoshopped PDF, invented PNR |
| BestDummyTicket.in | Real airline schedule data | $15 (~₹1,260) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Real airline data · EU Visa Code Art. 14 · Valid 14 days |
MyJet24 is one of the most popular free dummy ticket generators in India. It produces a well-formatted PDF that includes flight details, passenger name, and a "PNR" code. The PDF looks convincing.
What's actually happening: MyJet24 pulls real flight data from Skyscanner or similar APIs to populate the flight details (so the flight numbers are real). However, it generates a fake PNR — a string of letters and numbers that resembles a booking reference but corresponds to no actual reservation.
Result at check-in: The agent types the PNR → "Booking not found" → denied boarding. Result at visa office: The officer looks up the PNR → nothing → application marked as containing false information.
KeyFlight operates similarly to MyJet24 — it's a free web tool that generates flight itinerary PDFs. The interface is simpler and the resulting PDF is less polished, but the fundamental issue is identical.
What's actually happening: KeyFlight does not connect to any GDS or airline reservation system. The PNR it generates is invented. Some versions appear to use expired PNR formats that airlines decommissioned years ago — these are immediately recognisable to any experienced agent.
Result: Same as MyJet24. The PNR does not verify. Use of this document in a visa application constitutes submission of a fraudulent document.
DummyTicket.flights charges $3–$5 per ticket and produces a higher-quality PDF than the free alternatives. The formatting is more professional, the fonts are correct, and the layout mimics airline confirmations more convincingly.
What's actually happening: Despite the price, it is still a PDF generator. No real airline data, no real reservation, no valid booking reference. The better design may fool a visual inspection, but it fails the moment any agent tries to verify the booking reference against an actual airline schedule.
Result: Fails at any automated or system-based check. The ₹250 cost buys you a higher-quality document to commit fraud with — not a safer product.
MakeMyTrip and Cleartrip both allow you to reach the payment page before your session expires — sometimes with a PNR already generated. This produces a genuinely real reservation in the airline's system for a short period.
The fatal limitation: The hold lasts 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the airline and fare. By the time you download the PDF, prepare documents, and use it, the PNR has almost certainly expired. An expired PNR shows as CANCELLED in the system — worse than nothing.
BestDummyTicket.in generates professional flight itinerary documents from real airline schedule data. When you book, the system selects a real flight on a full-service carrier (Air India, Emirates, Thai Airways, etc.) for your route and date — real flight number, real airline, real departure and arrival times.
What this means: The document contains genuine airline data. When any agent — at check-in, immigration, or a visa consulate — reviews the itinerary, they see real flight information consistent with published airline schedules. Accepted under EU Regulation 810/2009 Article 14(4) for Schengen visa applications.
Enter your origin and destination
Origin = where you are now. Destination = where you need to fly to (or from, for return legs).
Choose your travel date
Enter your actual intended travel date. The system searches live inventory for that date.
Select delivery timing
"Send now" = PDF in 60 seconds (use for imminent flights or urgent needs). "Schedule delivery" = delivered automatically before your departure date (use for long-advance planning).
Pay $15 and receive your verified itinerary
PDF arrives by email with real airline data and an IATA booking reference. Valid 14 days from issue. Accepted at Schengen embassies under EU Regulation 810/2009 Article 14(4).
A flight itinerary document based on real airline schedule data is a legitimate, legal document. EU Regulation 810/2009 Article 14(4) explicitly requires Schengen embassies to accept non-confirmed flight reservations as visa supporting documents. BestDummyTicket.in documents meet this standard. This is legally and ethically distinct from generating a fake PDF with an invented booking reference.
Under Indian law (IPC 468), submitting a fabricated document to a government authority (such as a visa application) constitutes forgery. A document based on real airline schedule data is not a fabrication — it contains genuine flight information. This is the correct, legal way to provide a dummy ticket.
