How to Get a Travel Itinerary for Schengen visa without paying?

 

Putting together a basic travel itinerary isn’t all that difficult, and we’ll walk you through the basic elements of a good trip schedule. However, things get more complicated when you need to submit a travel itinerary for a visa application—especially since every country has different requirements. It can be frustrating trying to figure out whether you need your tickets paid in full, a flight reservation, or something else entirely. Before we walk through the contents of a solid itinerary for a domestic trip, we’ll answer your questions regarding itinerary requirements for international visa applications.

How can I get my flight itinerary without paying?

•         You can’t get an itinerary for 100% free if you need one. Unless you qualify for a special, free visa (like you’re travelling for charity work, or you’re a diplomat), there’s going to be a fee for your application at minimum. These fees differ from country to country, but expect to spend anywhere from $15-300 on your application. On top of this, you’ll typically need proof that you either have tickets, or a reservation for tickets. In both scenarios, you’ll need to spend money.

•         Countries require proof of tickets for two reasons. For one, a return flight “proves” you won’t stay past your visa date’s expiration. On top of that, buying tickets forces you to have some skin in the game, which theoretically ensures that you aren’t just applying for a visa without intending to visit.

•       For some countries, the reservation alone is enough to demonstrate that you’re serious. This is where a “dummy flight ticket” will work. If the requirements mention a “reservation,” this should be a good way to go.

There are 3 simple steps you must follow to reserve a flight without making the full payment for the flight ticket:

1.       Call your preferred travel agent or visit the Schengen Visa Itinerary website.

2.       Submit your travel flight details.

3.       Receive the flight itinerary in your email account.

HOW TO SCHEDULE A FLIGHT WITHOUT BOOKING AN ACTUAL FLIGHT?

  Once a traveler has finished their Schengen visa interview, one of the most significant documents the embassy will ask for is a copy of their  Flight Itinerary or Reservation . 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. ...
