Schengen Visa Flight Reservation Guide for First-Time Applicants

First-time Schengen applicants often worry about buying a flight before their visa is approved. Most consulates only ask for a flight itinerary, and a dummy ticket for visa applications is a verifiable reservation that shows your planned entry and exit without paying the full fare.

Match the reservation dates to your travel insurance and hotel bookings, and keep the booking valid until your appointment so the officer can verify it with the airline.

Not every provider issues reservations that can be checked, so compare the best dummy ticket for Schengen visa websites before you apply.
