Are you wondering how to book a flight reservation for your Schengen Visa application, or just looking for a flight itinerary with a unique booking code that is verifiable with the airline, all without actually having to pay the full price for a flight ticket that you might not be able to use? You’re in the right place!
We have been in exactly this position ourselves, so we’re going to show you the best way to get it done and why you should employ the professional services of a travel company like Schengen Visa Itinerary, who can make the process clear and simple as possible while providing you with a real travel itinerary and verifiable flight reservation to ensure your visa application has the best possible chance of success.
When we decided to take our dream Euro trip for our one-month honeymoon, we came up against the same challenge that so many others have come across before us, and much more do every day – the requirement to show a real flight reservation and travel itinerary for your whole trip. When you first see this requirement, you may well think that you have to book and pay for all of your Flight Tickets and Hotel Reservations before you can even start to apply for your Schengen Visa, which you don’t even know if you’re going to get! It’s easy to see why so many people would think this when this is what they were reading the application requirements from one of the Schengen countries…
“Copy of the roundtrip airline reservation with Passenger Registration Number (or reservation number) and travel itinerary. The reservation should prove that the stay in the Schengen area does not exceed 90 days. It is recommended not to buy the ticket until the visa is granted.”
But you can see how it gets even more confusing, “It is not recommended to buy the ticket until the visa is granted.” To the uninitiated first-time applicant, especially one born into the era of personal computers, the internet and doing everything yourself, this makes no sense whatsoever. How is it possible to get a confirmed flight booking and travel itinerary without actually paying for anything?!
The answer is all in the reasons why the embassies require an itinerary and not the fully paid for tickets to process visa applications. It’s as simple as the fact that they need to verify that you are traveling to that particular country for the reasons that you say you are. So if you have stated your reason for traveling there as, “tourism,” then it’s only logical that you should be able to show where you plan on going, when and for how long in order to prove that. Of course, they are not unreasonable people, so they don’t expect you to risk buying an expensive Flight Ticket and paying for Accommodation before you know if the visa will be approved. That is why they only ask for an itinerary and a reservation, rather than a paid for a ticket.
