¿Qué es un billete de salida?
Direct answer
Un billete de salida es una reserva de vuelo verificada con un código PNR real que demuestra que abandonarás un país antes de que expire tu visado o estancia sin visado. Las aerolíneas y los oficiales de inmigración lo requieren en viajes internacionales de ida. A diferencia de un PDF falso, un billete de salida real existe en el sistema de reservas de la aerolínea y puede verificarse de forma independiente.
Why airlines and border authorities require one
Under ICAO Annex 9 and national carrier-liability statutes, airlines face fines of $3,500–$10,000+ per passenger denied entry, so check-in desks query IATA Timatic to verify proof of onward travel before issuing a boarding pass. Consulates and border authorities—including those administering the EU Visa Code (Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, Annex II) and the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (8 CFR Part 217)—likewise require documentary evidence of return or onward travel.
Cómo funciona
- You submit your departure airport, destination airport, and travel date.
- OnwardTicket.us creates a temporary held reservation in the airline Global Distribution System (GDS) and returns a 6-character PNR code.
- You receive a PDF itinerary that check-in agents and consular officers can look up on the operating airline's website or via CheckMyTrip.
Reservation vs. purchased ticket & verification scope
An onward ticket is a temporary unpaid/held flight reservation, not a purchased commercial ticket (e-ticket), and it cannot be used to board an aircraft. Pricing starts at $7 for One-Way, $11 for Return, and $9 per leg (no base fee: 2 legs $18, 3 legs $27) for Multi-City per traveler, with 48 hours standard validity or 7 days extended validity (+$7.99 flat per order). PNR verification confirms the reservation record exists in the airline/GDS system while active; it does not guarantee boarding or immigration approval.
