Flight itineraries have limited validity periods. If your visa takes longer to process than expected, your reservation may expire. Here’s how to manage this.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Understand validity periods
Airline hold bookings typically last 24-72 hours. Reservation services offer longer validity.
2. Time your reservation strategically
Get your reservation close to your visa appointment or submission date for maximum validity.
3. Renew if necessary
If your reservation expires, get a new one from visaflightreservation.com/ for just $15.
4. Communicate with the embassy
Some embassies allow updated documents. Check if you can submit a renewed reservation.
