What is Flight Itinerary and Hotel Booking for Schengen Visa?

 


Visa applicants are required to present flight itinerary and hotel booking when submitting the visa application. A lot of visa applicants do not fully understand the whole process so, that is why we've decided to explain all the details you need to know about flight itinerary and hotel booking.

What Is a Flight Itinerary for Visa Application?

A Flight itinerary is a document which you submit with your visa application. That document shows all the details of your flight and it should contain the following information:

- date and time of departure and arrival

- flight name

- valid flight reservation number

- details of connecting flights

What Is a Flight Booking?

A flight booking is a simple reservation which you can make through an airline company of your choice. In other words, you don't have to purchase the ticket before the visa is issued. If you don't want to book your Flight Reservation by yourself, a travel agent can book a flight reservation for you. You only need to pay a small fee, but it's worth it in the end.

What Is a Hotel Reservation?

A hotel reservation is one of the requirements for applying for a Schengen visa and a valid proof of accommodation requested by the Embassy. Also, a proof of accommodation shows the evidence of your residence in the country you are planning to visit. As a proof of Hotel Reservation, the Embassy will be looking for the following information:

- your full name

- your entry and exit dates

- hotel address

- hotel contact details (phone number, email, etc)

- a valid hotel reservation code

* A hotel reservation confirmation letter is issued directly by the hotel. You don't have to write it yourself.

Note: It's not recommended that visa applicants buy tickets unless their visa is granted. Also, do not submit fake hotel and flight reservations. If you submit fake documents, you risk being denied.

Applying for a travel visa is often long, difficult to understand, and stressful. When preparing for a trip, it may take a lot of work to keep track of everything you will need and why you will need it. You will need to have some things on hand to have a travel visa authorized. Simply filling out a form and mailing it out is not cut it. A flight reservation document looks almost like a flight ticket, except that it does not have a price tag attached to it. Hence, it is also sometimes referred to as a  dummy ticket . It comes with a unique reservation ID or code that can be verified from the airlines’ website if the embassy wants. In addition, the flight reservation contains all the information that you would normally have on a flight ticket – point of boarding, point of entry, travel dates, etc. ...
