A Flight or airline ticket is either a paper-printed
or an electronic document purchased by a traveler from an airline company or a
travel agency. The ticket proves that the traveler has a reserved seat on an
aeroplane, which will take them to their destination.
Almost all Embassies or Consulates of the Schengen
Area are clear towards their visa applicants, telling them not to buy the full
Return Air Ticket before the visa is actually issued.
Still, sometimes you will not get along with visa
requirements by submitting only the Flight Itinerary and
Flight Ticket Reservation. Since the particular Embassy or
Consulate of Schengen country has the authority to ask you to provide the
actual Airline Ticket, ensure you have a planned trip to a specific European
destination. Most of the Embassies or Consulates accept Round-trip Flight
reservations with a Flight Itinerary as a form to prove you have a prearranged
journey. But, again, they want you to provide the actual Flight Ticket once you
get your visa approved.
The moment you own a Flight Ticket; you have in your
hand the ticket with which you can travel to your destination once getting the
visa. However, we recommend you not buy the full Air Travel Ticket before being
certain you will get your Schengen visa approved. If failing to follow our
advice, you can risk losing your money on a costly Flight Ticket without
actually travelling to your planned destination.
