A flight
reservation (or flight itinerary) for the Schengen Visa
application is a round trip flight ticket that you reserve with a specific
airline without actually paying for it.
Some airlines provide you with a hold option that
allows you to hold a seat for a specific period (typically, 7 days, although
some airlines allow you to hold a seat for only 24 hours or for up to 15 days –
it depends on the airline’s policy) and get a flight itinerary confirmation.
Depending on the airline you choose, you can hold the
seat for free or they can charge you a small fee for your reservation.
A lot of websites (including Embassy/Consulate
official websites) state that you are required to submit a “booked flight
itinerary” with your Schengen Visa application, which can be confusing at first
glance.
However, you should not be worried: a “booked flight
itinerary”, a “booked flight”, or a “flight itinerary” can be interpreted as
just the reserving of a seat under your name on a flight, without you paying
the full price of the tickets (especially before you know that your Visa is
approved).
Some Embassies/Consulates prefer using the expression
“flight itinerary” because their duty is to check the detailed plan of your
flights to, through and back from the Schengen Region.
Your confirmed flight reservation must include
information such as your full name, flight name, departure/arrival timings
along with dates, flight code, departure/arrival airport, IATA codes (a
three-letter code designating many airports around the world, defined by the
International Air Transport Association), and the flight reservation/booking
numbers.
How Can I Get a Confirmed Flight
Reservation?
You can buy a Confirmation of a Flight Reservation
directly from the airline company or through online travel agents, also known
as online search travel engines. These travel agents enjoy a lot of information
about different airline companies and the online markets in general. Thus, they
can offer you great and cheap deals by charging you small amount of money of
the fixed ticket price. This way, you will cut the risk of buying a real
Airline ticket before knowing if you will obtain your Schengen Visa.
Getting a Flight Itinerary with a Booking number
without paying the full price for the flight ticket is simple:
• Go to Schengen
visa Itinerary
• Choose the right travelling package (Flight
Reservation, Hotel Reservation
and Travel Insurance)
for you,
• Submit
your flight details and proceed with the payment,
• You
will receive an email with all the details of your flight reservation.
