Question 1

Are flight reservations required for visa applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, flight reservations are required for most popular tourist visas, such as the Schengen visa. Please check the relevant embassy's website to verify this information.
 
Please note: These are flight reservations, not actual tickets. Travelers will have to buy airline tickets separately - preferably once the visa application has been approved - as is recommended by embassies and consulates.
 
Also note: Please refer to the embassy's website to see whether you even require a visa.

Question 2

Can I see a sample reservation?

Accepted Answer

Of course. You can view sample reservations here.

Question 3

Are these flight reservations real and verifiable?

Accepted Answer

Our reservations are genuine. They are created by registered travel agents using GDS systems. Generally airlines systems do not display such external bookings.

Question 4

What is the validity of flight reservations?

Accepted Answer

Reservations are a temporary hold, and can only be allowed for a limited time by airlines, as preference is given to final sales. The period of validity can vary depending on airline policy, proximity to departure, and flight capacity among other factors. It is fairly common for a reservation to expire during visa processing.
 
We recommend getting a reservation made close to submission, not more than 1 day in advance.

We do not store any information other than your reservation details. All payments are processed through renowned third-party payment gateways like Square and PayPal.

Some states have seller of travel laws that require agencies to follow registration procedures with their state. We are working on fulfilling those conditions with each state.

Question 16

If I don't want to use your service, what are my options?

Accepted Answer

You can buy an actual flight ticket for your visa application. However, if the flight is nonrefundable, it's a risk in case the visa application is delayed or doesn't go through. We make this process easier for our customers by providing temporary flight and hotel reservations for a low fee.
