Seems legit as seems it is a real ticket.

What is not good is they don't answer email and many bad reviews
Thanks for your help

used them a number of times. Initially you'd get an actual ticket from the airline, now they send you an travel itinerary which looks like they typed it up themselves. Last visa application I just changed the dates on an old ticket out of the country, was accepted without issue as there's no way for them to check it.

dangerous assumption!

the guy from the Bali consulate was a participating member on this forum (maybe still is) and he checked tickets and when he found that they were false he would ban that person from ever using the Bali consulate again.

The airlines are not going to divulge confidential information though, so as long as it's indistinguishable from a real ticket and is for a valid flight, how are they going to find out?

The consulate would only need contact such as a travel agent who can enter  the passengers  name, flight number and date of departure into the manage booking application to see whether its genuine or not- and it's all information which they will be able to obtain from the fake ticket.

It's really not worth taking the risk.

Is there really a centralised 'manage booking application' available to all travel agents with all the passengers' names on every airline? Seems like a massive security risk so I doubt it would be that simple.

The kinds of airlines used by FlyOnward, providing refundable and changeable tickets, are major airlines that have long supported the major airline reservation systems. Apart from some smaller airlines, they pretty much all do. The costs of forcing major travel agents to do bookings by phone would be prohibitive. Although there are some privacy considerations, the profit motive wins. FlyOnward can afford to cheaply rent tickets precisely because reservations are quick and efficient.

Does it apply to all the budget airliners that visa runners commonly use, like Air Asia, Nok Air and Vietjet?

There is not any need to involve a travel agent. For many (most?) airlines you can check the status of a booking on their website by simply entering name of passenger and booking reference, information that can be found on the e-ticket/booking confirmation.

No, not all of them.

Regardless of whether the ticket is real anyone using this service is conning consular services, airlines and immigration. If they knew the ticket could not used they would not issue a visa, allow boarding or allow entry to Thailand.

This appears to be discussing fraudulent activity and as such is CLOSED.
