Flight itinerary vs airline reservation vs ticket
These documents serve different purposes. Compare what each one represents before choosing what matches your application checklist.
| Comparison | Trajetto itinerary document | Airline reservation | Airline ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it exists | On Trajetto as a generated document and verification record | In an airline or travel-agent booking system | In the airline ticketing system |
| PNR or airline booking reference | No | Often, depending on the airline or agent | Usually associated with a booking record |
| Authorizes travel | No | No, unless ticketed under the airline’s rules | Yes, subject to airline rules and valid travel documents |
| What it demonstrates | A planned route using current flight information | A booking record controlled by an airline or agent | A paid or issued right to travel on the ticketed itinerary |
| Verification | Trajetto reference on Trajetto.com | Airline or travel-agent channels | Airline channels and the e-ticket number |
Choose based on the stated requirement
Choose a non-binding itinerary document
When the instructions ask for planned flight details or an itinerary and do not require an airline booking reference, Trajetto may match the requested format. Confirm this with the responsible authority.
Choose an airline reservation or ticket
When the instructions explicitly require a PNR, confirmed airline booking, paid ticket, or e-ticket number, obtain it from an airline or authorized travel provider.

Questions
Does a Trajetto itinerary include a real PNR?
No. Trajetto does not create airline reservations or airline booking references.
Is a flight itinerary the same as a ticket?
No. A ticket is issued through an airline ticketing system and authorizes travel subject to its rules. A Trajetto itinerary is a non-binding document showing a planned route.
Which document should I use for a visa application?
Use the document type requested by the embassy, consulate, visa centre, or other authority handling your application. Requirements vary, so confirm them before ordering.
