I just found out about another service online which is totally free of charge, returnFlights.net
An Iraqi guy who lives in Germany told me that he’s been using it
recently without problems.The site has a form you fill out with flight details you fond
yourself. It lists some points you should follow too:
Do not fly back to your country. The person at the check-in counter
might be suspicious because return flights with the same air carrier
are normally cheaper.Do not choose the same airline for your onward ticket. They might
check it at the check-in counter..Make sure you enter a valid flight and flight dates/time. Check here
for valid flight dates.Once you printed out your flight ticket.
Highlight your name and flight destination with a marker. The person
on the check-in counter will appreciate it and will not check further
details.You also can additionaly write some address and phone number on the
paper to make it look more real.
You are not the first to use this type of hack and there do now exist websites to provide this service for just a few dollars:
- Flyonward books you onward tickets for 10 USD and automatically cancels them after 48h (you can ask for a quote if you need more than 48h).
- Onwardlflights does the same for 7 USD but I don’t see how long they take until cancellation of the ticket.
(Some countries do check whether bookings are still active before issuing a visa, so it may make a difference.) I have not used either website and am not affiliated. Tip of the hat to youhavebeenupgraded (in German).
