Hi,

We know we should use "on" whenever we refer day, for example "on July 6th" etc. What about this sentence.

"I booked a ticket for July 19th" (meaning I am travelling on July 19th).

I think this is a correct sentece. Am I wrong? Any other views?

Perfect.

"I booked a ticket for (use on) July 19th"
