Onward ticket questions, answered plainly.

A temporary airline booking, a hold, that reserves seats until the airline's payment deadline. It has a real booking reference (PNR) you can check with the airline. Travellers use it as proof of onward travel for airlines, border officers and visa applications.

No. A FlyProof is a reservation, not a ticket. No ticket number is issued and it cannot be used to board. If you decide to take the flight, you would buy a ticket separately.

Until the payment deadline the airline sets when it accepts the hold, typically between a few hours and three days depending on the airline and route. We show the exact time in My FlyProof and in your email, and the card counts down to it.

Shortly before you need to show it. If that's more than a day away, order now and choose a creation time: we place the hold shortly before, so it's at its freshest when you need it.

Yes. Open the airline's website or app, go to Manage booking, and enter the booking reference with the passenger's family name. The held itinerary shows until the deadline passes.

You'll get an email with the booking reference and PDF, and the live card appears in My FlyProof as soon as the airline confirms.

We retry with equivalent holdable flights on the same route. If the airline still won't create the hold, you're refunded automatically and told why. We never show a reservation as live unless the airline has confirmed it.

Each traveller's name as printed in the passport, date of birth and gender, plus one email and mobile number for the booking. Passport details are only requested when the airline requires them for the hold, and then stored encrypted.

Yes. Pick an onward airport and choose from the holdable flights, or use Find the best route for me and confirm the flight we propose. The airline and flight are shown before you pay. We can't promise a specific airline because availability is live.

Airlines don't allow name changes on a hold. Reply to your confirmation email or write to support before the hold is used and we'll create a corrected reservation. If the mistake was ours, that's free.

No. A dummy ticket is a document with no booking behind it. A FlyProof is a real airline reservation with a booking reference the airline can look up while it is valid. It is not a paid ticket and cannot be used to board.

A FlyProof is a flat price per traveller, shown on the homepage. A fully paid ticket costs the fare, and refunds depend on the fare rules.

Often. Airlines check one-way passengers to visa-exempt and visa-on-arrival countries because they are liable if a passenger is refused entry.

Many embassies ask for a flight itinerary and advise against buying a ticket before the decision. A held reservation shows your dates and route and can be verified with the airline. Follow the checklist for your consulate.

Whichever airlines our booking provider can place a hold with on your route. You see the exact flight, airline and validity before you pay.

No. A hold has a booking reference (PNR), not a ticket number. Ticket numbers are only issued when a fare is paid.

Yes. The homepage shows a sample reservation and pass with the same fields as the one you will receive.

First check the reference and the family name exactly as entered. If the hold has passed its deadline it will have been released; order again for the new date. Otherwise write to support and we look it up with the provider.

There is nothing to cancel. The airline releases the hold automatically at its payment deadline. Customer cancellation and refunds follow the policy shown at checkout.

Holding a reservation before paying is a normal airline function, offered through licensed travel-technology providers. Editing documents or misrepresenting a hold as a paid ticket is not, and we never do it.
