Flight Itinerary for Visa

A visa file usually asks for a flight itinerary: the flights you intend to take, with dates, airline and flight numbers. The strongest itinerary is one the officer can check — a real reservation that comes back on the airline's own website.

What a good itinerary shows

• The airline, flight numbers, route and dates
• Every applicant's name exactly as in the passport
• The airline's PNR, so it can be verified
• Dates that match the rest of your file — the cover letter, the hotel and the insurance

Getting one

Search your planned route and date, choose the flights, enter the passengers and pay. The itinerary arrives as a PDF once the airline issues the PNR — usually within 10 to 60 minutes. One-way ₹400, return ₹600 per passenger before 18% GST.

An itinerary that will not check out

A document made from a booking-site screenshot or an edited PDF carries a reference that resolves to nothing. It fails the moment anyone checks — and putting it in a file risks more than the visa.

Two honest limits: what can be held depends on the route, the class and the date, so the search shows what is actually available rather than promising a particular flight; and a minority of consulates require a confirmed, paid ticket — where that is the rule, no reservation satisfies it. Read the checklist of the mission handling your application before you book.
