Flight Reservation for Visa: $15, QR-Verified

Your embassy wants proof of your travel plans. Buying a real ticket before your visa is approved risks hundreds of dollars on a decision you don't control.

A Get Itinerary flight reservation gives you a real, verifiable booking document to submit with your application — without buying the ticket. It costs $15 and arrives in minutes.

What You Get

A PDF flight reservation ready to upload or print for your appointment. It shows:

• Every traveller's full name, exactly as it appears in their passport
• Your travel dates, flight numbers and departure times
• Airline details for each flight
• A booking reference
• A QR code that opens a live reservation record, so a visa officer can confirm it's real

A flight reservation is not a ticket. You can't board a plane with it. Once your visa is approved, you book your real flights.
 

Why Ours Doesn't Expire During Visa Processing

Most cheap reservations are airline holds (PNRs). They expire after 24 to 72 hours. Schengen visas take at least 15 days to process, often 30 to 45 in peak season. If an officer checks an expired hold, it looks like a cancelled trip.

Our reservations use a QR code linked to a live reservation record instead of an airline hold. The record stays checkable until 24 hours before your stated travel date, so it's still valid whenever the embassy looks.

Avoid "generators" that invent flight details. Embassies check booking codes, and a document that doesn't verify can lead to a refusal or a ban on future applications.
 

Do Embassies Accept a Flight Reservation?

Yes, for most short-stay visas. Schengen consulates ask for a flight reservation or itinerary, not a purchased ticket, and the UK generally accepts one for visit visas.

Some US, UK and Canadian visa categories ask for a confirmed ticket instead. Always check your consulate's own document checklist. If it says "reservation", "itinerary" or "proof of travel plans", a flight reservation qualifies.

Round-Trip, Multi-City and Hotel Bookings

• Round-trip
  Choose it whenever you can. A one-way booking can suggest you don't have a plan to leave, something that triggers a red flag for an embassy. A return flight shows a clear trip length and that you're going home, or at least leaving the country.
   
• Multi-city
  List every flight in order, including connections, with clear entry and exit points. For Schengen countries, apply at the consulate of the country where you'll first spend the majority of time in.
   
• Add a hotel reservation
  Most Schengen applications also ask for accommodation for your whole stay. Ordering flight and hotel together ($25) keeps the dates consistent. A one-day mismatch between them is a common reason an application gets a second look.
   

Your Pre-Application Checklist

You've read the guide. Now here's your pre-application checklist to make sure you're submitting the right documentation:

✅ Check that your embassy accepts a reservation. Most Schengen consulates do; some US, UK and Canadian categories want a confirmed ticket.

✅ Match every name to its passport, letter for letter.

✅ Use realistic dates. Pick your actual intended travel window, after your appointment.

✅ Order with a buffer. Delivery takes minutes, but order 24–48 hours before your appointment in case you need a change.

✅ Check your connections. A 45-minute connection between international flights looks unrealistic.

✅ Make your hotel dates match your flights.
 

Prefer a free option?

Airline holds and the 24-hour refund rule that's been set in the USA can work if your appointment is only a few days away. Realisticly, they expire long before most visa decisions are made, though. We compare every free method, and when each one works, in How to Get a Flight Itinerary Without Paying.
 

Frequently asked questions

Is a flight reservation the same as a plane ticket?
No. It's a verifiable booking document for your visa application. You can't board a flight with it. Book your real ticket after your visa is approved.
 

How long is my flight reservation valid?
Until 24 hours before the travel date on your reservation. That covers the full processing time for most visas.
 

Can the embassy verify it?
Yes. The QR code on your document opens a live reservation record with your details.
 

Can I change a date or a name after ordering?
Yes. Email info@getitinerary.com with your order details and we'll correct it.
