Where do I get Flight Reservations or Flight Itinerary for Schengen visa?

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.

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.
