A flight or airline ticket is either a paper-printed or an electronic document purchased by a traveller from an airline company or a travel agency. The ticket proves that the traveller 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.
Can we get the Flight Ticket for Schengen visa without paying?
You can obtain a dummy ticket for a Schengen visa application directly with any of the airlines that offer this service. However, not many airlines offer this service which means you will have to pay for a return flight up front. If you find an airline which is happy to issue a dummy ticket, most specify that the document is only valid for 24-48 hours. Schengen visa applications take anything from 7 – 14 days to be processed, so this small time period in which the dummy ticket is valid is just not practical.
A better alternative is to use a verified travel agent like Visa Reservation who provide this service, specifically for Schengen visa applicants. Visa Reservation can help you book a dummy ticket for a Schengen visa which can later be converted into a confirmed ticket or cancelled if your visa application gets rejected. This will potentially save you thousands of dollars on your air ticket, since dummy tickets booked through our website are valid for at least 2-3 weeks.
To assist you through this process smoothly, our team at Visa Reservation has created several packages to suit the needs of different kinds of travelers. These packages not only include flight reservation for visa, but other required documents too, such as Hotel Booking for Visa Application, Travel Insurance for Visa Application. These packages are suitable for travelers looking for any of the above mentioned flight itinerary types. So whether you are planning to visit a single country or multiple countries in the Schengen area, we can take care of all your flight reservation needs.
