Can anyone know the best website to book refundable ticket I just wanna use it for setv visa application then cancel it and get refund after it approved and buy the actual flight I want
Summary so far
The inquiry seeks advice on the best website to book refundable tickets for a visa application to Thailand, which the user intends to cancel after the visa approval. Responses vary, highlighting that it's unnecessary to book a flight outright, as simply providing a flight option can suffice. Some comments suggest websites like onwardticket.com, while others emphasize that travelers can often obtain a visa upon arrival without advanced ticket purchases.

Air Canada refused to let me board my flight to Thailand unless I could show a flight out before my visa (90 day tourist visa, the old system a few years ago) expired. I was taking onward flights to Cambodia, but I wanted to book it in Thailand. I had to quickly book a flight I could cancel later to get on the plane. Air Canada said it was a Thai govt requirement.

I was not happy, but I understand where this poster is coming from.

I have read your post on many sites asking the same. If you meet the requirements of the visa application its almost guaranteed you'll be approved so stop messing about with tickets to cheat the system just buy the flights ✈️ you want ro use, upload the details and then fo.enjoy thailand. You are thinking too hard about this. I have always bought my tickets and always been approved for the visa. Some embassies will let you put flight details in others want the actually confirmation from your flight company.

You don't need to book any flights. All you need is to upload a copy of a flight option from an airlines website that is available. Print that.
