A flight itinerary is mandatory for every Schengen visa application. All 27 Schengen member state consulates accept flight itineraries — here’s the step-by-step process.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Determine the right consulate
Apply at the consulate of the country where you’ll spend the most time, or your first entry point if visiting multiple countries equally.
2. Plan your route
Your reservation should show entry into a Schengen country and exit from the Schengen zone (can be a different country).
3. Generate a compliant reservation
Our service creates Schengen-compliant reservations with round-trip flights, PNR codes, and proper formatting — for $15.
4. Submit with your application
Include the reservation alongside your Schengen visa application form, photos, insurance, and financial documents.
Pro Tips
- Always show a round trip — Schengen consulates require proof of return
- Internal Schengen flights are not needed on the reservation
- Ensure dates align with your travel insurance coverage period
- Popular airlines: Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, Turkish Airlines, Alitalia
