How Much Does a Dummy Ticket Cost?

One of the biggest advantages of a dummy ticket is the cost. Here is how it compares to other options visa applicants consider:

As you can see, a dummy ticket from EchoFlights offers the best combination of low cost, minimal risk, and instant delivery. You get a professional flight itinerary for visa application without spending a fortune or risking your savings.

Step 1: Search Your Route

Go to the EchoFlights search page and enter:

• From: Your departure airport (e.g., Dhaka - DAC)
• To: Your destination airport (e.g., London - LHR)
• Travel date: Your intended departure date
• Passengers: Number of adults, children, and infants
• Trip type: One-way or round-trip

Our system searches through hundreds of real airline schedules to find available flights for your route. We cover all major destinations including Europe (Schengen countries, UK), North America (USA, Canada), Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore), the Middle East, and more.

Step 2: Select Your Flight

Browse the search results showing real airline flights. Each result displays:

• Airline name and flight number
• Departure and arrival times
• Flight duration and stops
• Fare breakdown including base fare, taxes, and service fee

Choose the flight that best matches your travel plan. If you're applying for a round-trip visa, make sure to select return flights too. For connecting flights, our system shows the complete journey including layover details.

Step 3: Enter Passenger Details

For each passenger, fill in:

• Full name — exactly as it appears on the passport
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Nationality
• Passport number
• Passport expiry date

Pro tip: You can use our passport scanner feature to automatically extract details from your passport photo — it reads the MRZ (machine-readable zone) and fills in the fields for you. This eliminates typos and saves time.

Step 4: Pay via bKash

After entering passenger details, you'll see the payment screen with our bKash number. Simply:

1. Send the exact amount to the bKash number shown on screen
2. Enter your bKash phone number in the verification form
3. Enter the Transaction ID (TrxID) from your bKash confirmation SMS
4. Click "Verify Payment"

Our system automatically verifies your payment within seconds. No credit card or international payment method needed — bKash is all you need.

Step 5: Download Your PDF

Once payment is verified, your booking is confirmed instantly. You'll be redirected to your booking confirmation page where you can:

• View your complete booking details
• Download the embassy-ready PDF flight itinerary
• Access it anytime from your dashboard under "My Bookings"

The PDF includes your PNR number, flight details, passenger information, and all the details embassies look for. It is formatted professionally and ready to submit with your visa application.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

After helping thousands of travelers get their dummy tickets, we've seen these mistakes come up repeatedly. Avoid them to ensure a smooth visa application:

• Name mismatch: The most common error. Your name on the dummy ticket must match your passport exactly — including spelling, middle names, and the order of given name vs surname. Even a small difference (e.g., "Mohammad" vs "Mohammed") can cause problems.
• Wrong travel dates: Your flight dates must be in the future and should align with your visa application dates. Do not submit an itinerary with past dates or dates that conflict with your hotel booking.
• One-way itinerary for tourist visa: Almost every tourist visa requires a return flight. If you submit a one-way itinerary, the visa officer may question your intent to return home. Always include a return flight unless the visa type specifically does not require it.
• Dates don't match other documents: Your flight itinerary, hotel reservation, travel insurance, and cover letter should all show consistent dates. Discrepancies between documents are a red flag for visa officers.
• Applying too close to travel date: Leave enough processing time between your application date and your planned departure. If your flight shows departure in 3 days but the embassy takes 3 weeks to process, the visa officer will notice the impractical timeline.
• Expired passport: Make sure your passport has at least 6 months of validity beyond your planned return date. Some applicants focus on the itinerary but overlook this basic requirement.

What to Check Before Submitting Your Dummy Ticket

Before you attach your flight itinerary to your visa application, run through this checklist:

1. Passenger name matches passport: Compare every letter of the name on the itinerary with your passport. Pay attention to surname and given name order.
2. Passport number is correct: Verify the passport number on the itinerary matches your actual passport.
3. Dates are in the future: Both departure and return dates should be after your expected visa processing completion date.
4. Dates match hotel booking: Your arrival date on the itinerary should match (or be close to) your hotel check-in date, and your departure should align with check-out.
5. Return flight is included: For tourist and business visas, confirm the itinerary shows a return flight.
6. Correct destination country: Make sure the destination on your itinerary matches the country you are applying the visa for. If applying for a Schengen visa, your itinerary should show entry into the Schengen area.
7. PDF quality: Download the PDF and check that it is clear, well-formatted, and all text is readable. If printing, use clean A4 paper.

Tips for the Best Results

• Match your dates — Make sure your flight dates align with your hotel booking and other visa documents
• Use correct passport info — Double-check that all names and numbers match your passport exactly
• Round-trip for tourist visas — Most embassies prefer seeing a return flight for tourist visa applications
• Print the PDF — Some embassies require a printed copy, so print it on clean A4 paper
• Keep a digital copy — Save the PDF on your phone as backup, especially for online visa applications that accept document uploads

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will I receive my dummy ticket?

Instantly. Once your bKash payment is verified (usually within seconds), your flight itinerary PDF is generated and available for download from your dashboard. The entire process — from searching for a flight to downloading the PDF — takes under 5 minutes.

Can I get a dummy ticket for multiple passengers?

Yes. When searching for flights, you can specify the number of adults, children, and infants. The generated itinerary will include all passengers on a single document, which is how embassies expect to see family or group travel applications.

What if I need to change the dates after downloading?

If you need a different travel date, you can create a new booking with the updated dates. Each booking generates a fresh flight itinerary with the correct details.

Do I need a dummy ticket if I already have a real ticket?

No. If you have already purchased a real airline ticket, you can submit that booking confirmation with your visa application. A dummy ticket is specifically for applicants who have not yet purchased their flights and want to avoid the financial risk of doing so before visa approval.

Can I use the dummy ticket to actually board a flight?

No. A dummy ticket is a travel plan document for visa applications and proof of onward travel. It is not a confirmed airline booking. You should purchase your actual airline tickets after your visa is approved.
