Immigration and visas
The itinerary presents the planned exit route for border review or an application requesting flight details.
Airline verification
Use the six-character PNR and passenger surname on the airline's official Manage Booking page.
What counts as proof of onward travel?
A clear document identifies the traveler and the journey out of the destination. The useful details are the passenger name, departure airport, onward destination, travel date, airline, flight number and booking reference.
Avionward prepares these details as a real, temporary flight reservation and delivers the itinerary by email. The reservation is designed for travel-document checks; it is not the separately issued ticket used to board the onward flight.
How the reservation is verified
Open the official website of the airline named on the itinerary. Choose Manage Booking, My Trips or Retrieve Booking, then enter the PNR and passenger surname.
