Reservation vs. purchased airline ticket
Know what you are ordering before completing payment.
Flight reservation
A reservation records an itinerary in a reservation system. It is not necessarily the same thing as a fully paid and ticketed airline journey.
Purchased ticket
A purchased airline ticket represents an issued travel document subject to the airline’s fare and ticketing rules.

Onward ticket booking FAQs
What is an onward ticket?
An onward ticket is travel documentation showing a planned journey from the country or destination you are currently entering to another destination. It can be a return journey or travel onward to a third country, depending on the applicable requirement.
Is an onward ticket the same as a return ticket?
Not necessarily. A return ticket normally takes you back to a previous destination, while an onward ticket can take you to another country. A return ticket can nevertheless satisfy an onward-travel requirement where the applicable rules accept it.
What do I receive after ordering?
You receive the travel documentation associated with the reservation you order, delivered digitally according to the selected processing option. The exact itinerary format and reservation information depend on the underlying booking.
How long is the onward reservation valid?
HoldMyFare offers reservation validity options starting from 48 hours, with extended options available depending on the route and selected service.
Is an onward reservation the same as a purchased flight ticket?
No. A reservation and an issued airline ticket are different forms of travel documentation. If your specific requirement calls for a purchased or issued ticket, you should use an issued ticket rather than assuming a reservation is sufficient.
Can I use an onward reservation for proof of onward travel?
A genuine flight reservation may be appropriate where the relevant airline, authority or visa process accepts a reservation as evidence. Requirements vary, so check the specific rules that apply to your journey before ordering.
Can I use an onward ticket for a visa application?
Some visa processes request travel reservations or evidence of intended travel, while others may specify an issued ticket or different documentation. Follow the current instructions of the embassy, consulate or visa authority handling your application.
Can I use an onward ticket for airline check-in?
Airlines can require evidence of onward or return travel when applicable. Whether a reservation is sufficient depends on the airline’s requirements and the entry rules applicable to your journey.
Does an onward ticket guarantee entry into a country?
No. An onward ticket or reservation does not guarantee visa approval, airline boarding or admission to a country. It is only one part of your travel documentation where such evidence is required.

Always verify the current requirements with the relevant airline, embassy, consulate or immigration authority before traveling.
