出国用チケットは合法ですか？
Direct answer
はい—出国用チケットの使用は合法です。検証可能なPNRコード付きの確認済み航空予約は、航空会社のチェックインとビザ申請要件を満たすために提出される正当な文書です。最終的に搭乗しない本格的な予約を提示しても詐欺にはなりません；予約は提示されたとおりに航空会社システムに存在しています。
Statutory distinction: genuine GDS reservation vs. forged PDF
Immigration and consular regulations require documentary proof of planned onward or return travel; they do not make it a criminal or civil offense to later change your travel plans or let an unpaid hold expire. Under EU Visa Code (Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, Annex II), applicants are explicitly asked for a "return or round-trip ticket, またはその予約." Under U.S. Visa Waiver Program regulations (8 CFR Part 217) and the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation (EU) 2016/399, Article 6), travellers must demonstrate onward travel plans within their permitted stay.
When a document crosses the legal line
Two practices are unlawful misrepresentation: (1) editing or doctoring a PDF to display a false PNR, date, or passenger name that does not match the airline system, and (2) using a template generator with no real GDS booking behind it. OnwardTicket.us creates a genuine, temporary reservation in the airline GDS—never a fabricated PDF.
Important limitations
A flight reservation is a temporary unpaid/held itinerary (valid 48 hours standard or 7 days with the paid add-on), not a purchased e-ticket for boarding. Furthermore, PNR verification confirms only that the booking record exists in the airline/GDS system while active; it does not guarantee boarding or immigration admission, which remain subject to carrier and border-officer discretion.
