What dummyticket.travel does

dummyticket.travel is a privately held, IATA-approved travel agency that issues temporary, verifiable flight reservations (commonly called dummy tickets) and hotel bookings for travelers who need to submit proof of onward or return travel as part of a visa application. Founded in 2019 by Mohd Suhail Saifi, the company is headquartered in Delhi with a secondary office in Sharjah, UAE, and serves a global customer base spanning South Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe, North America, East Asia, and Oceania — covering visa destinations including the Schengen Area, UK, US, Canada, and Japan.

The core product is a Dummy Flight Ticket priced at ₹400 (~$5) that ships with a valid Passenger Name Record (PNR) verifiable on airline websites such as Air India, Emirates, Philippine Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Thai Airways, and Qatar Airways. The portfolio has been expanded to include a Dummy Hotel Booking (₹250 / ~$3), a bundled Flight + Hotel Combo (₹650 / ~$8), and a premium Return Flight Ticket with E-Ticket Number (starting at ₹1,000 / ~$15). The platform runs as a self-serve website with a four-step checkout (select destination, fill details, pay, receive ticket), supported by automated generation with a 30–60 minute delivery SLA, 24×7 WhatsApp-based customer support, and integrations with UPI, PayPal, and bank transfer for payments.

The business model is transaction-fee-based with a horizontal segmentation approach. Direct-to-consumer orders are fulfilled through the website and WhatsApp, while a B2B partner program distributes to travel agents and agencies at special pricing for bulk procurement of dummy documentation. Distribution is anchored on content marketing and SEO targeting high-intent visa-related keywords, supplemented by an organic presence across Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and Pinterest, plus earned media on Trustpilot and Google My Business. The company appears bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.
