A few airlines, like KLM and Qatar Airways, will allow
you to reserve flights for free. You can simply visit their website, choose
your flights, and when you’re asked how you would like to pay, choose to pay
cash at their office. They will issue a Flight Reservation that is valid for 24-48 hours. Just reserve the
day before your submission of application.
But what if KLM or Qatar Airways doesn’t fly to your
destination? This is where travel agencies can help.
For our past few Schengen applications, we booked with
an agency called Gazelle Travel and Tours, which came highly recommended by a
friend. They issue legit reservation proof that we used in our application. We
didn’t have any problems with it. (Our applications were approved, no sweat!)
Gazelle Travel and Tours is:
·
DOT-Accredited (Accreditation No.
TOP-R04A-00003487-2016)
·
DTI-registered
·
Member of NAITAS (National Association of
Independent Travel Agencies – Philippines)
From the day we published our Schengen Visa Guide, we get multiple
inquiries about how to book with them, so we decided to just make it a lot
easier for our readers. We arranged an agreement with them and created a Google
Form (see below) where you can simply enter the details of your flight
reservation request and they will be the one to contact you via text or email.
How
long can they hold the reservation?
It depends on many factors such as:
·
Airline. Each airline has their own policy
when it comes to blocking period lengths.
·
Airline Booking Class
·
Travel Period
Gazelle will be informing you of how long the Flight Reservation
will be valid. If the flights that best fit your needs can only be held/blocked
for a short period, you can tell Gazelle to send the reservation document when
the date of your embassy appointment or submission is close. You can still book
with them now and arrange to have it sent to you on a specific date and remind
them when that date is near for good measure.
How
do I book flight reservation?
1. Fill
out the form below. Choose between REGULAR or RUSH. If you want to include
hotel reservations, tick the corresponding checkbox. Make sure your email
address and contact number is correct.
2. You
will receive a message from Gazelle Travel and Tours confirming the details of
your request. You will also be asked to settle the bill via bank deposit before
they could process the request.
3. Pay
via bank deposit. Please indicate your mobile number on the deposit slip and
email a copy to Gazelle.
4. Wait
for your Flight/HotelReservation, which will be emailed to you.
Please make sure that the information you will submit
are correct. This will be the basis for the travel agency when they process
your request. You can make corrections until you give approval. Once you
approve, the request is processed, and the reservations have been issued, you
can no longer make changes. You will have to start a new request.
