The key differences

Cost

A dummy ticket costs a small fee; a real ticket is the full airfare, often non-refundable.

Commitment

A reservation is temporary and expires; a paid ticket locks your seat and dates.

For the application

Use a verifiable reservation for the visa file, then buy the real ticket after approval.

Both are verifiable

Both carry a genuine PNR you can check — the difference is whether it is paid in full.
