It has never been independently confirmed that de Jonge never booked tickets for either flight.[4][5][6][7] According to Slate, de Jonge only mentioned he wanted to fly on the day MH17 crashed, but he never mentioned that he booked a ticket for that flight. Slate also mentioned that there was no reason for de Jonge to book a flight on MH370.[8]
