Wat is een onward ticket?
Direct answer
Een doorreis ticket is een geverifieerde vliegboeking met een echte PNR-code die bewijst dat je een land verlaten voordat je visum of visumvrije verblijfsperiode verloopt. Luchtvaartmaatschappijen en immigratiebeambten vereisen dit bij單程 internationale reizen. In tegenstelling tot een nep PDF bestaat een echt doorreis ticket in het boekingssysteem van de luchtvaartmaatschappij en kan onafhankelijk worden geverifieerd.
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.
Hoe het werkt
- 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.
