where to get flight reservation without paying ?

[CharlieH]

As per title, this seems to be a requirement for a shengen visa, anyone know where or how to get one ?

My girlfriend called with Chine Airlines and they e-mailed her a reservation. This reservation would automatically expire after a few days (5??) but if you make the reservation the day before you apply that shouldn't be a problem. Other airliners may offer such a service aswell if you call them.

THAI Airways. Make a reservation on their website and book a flight to any destination that is departing more than 1 week in advance. You have 72 hours to pay before the booking is cancelled.

Depends where you are going, klm do a hold on a booking

If you are in Bangkok, and ready to meet your appointment in the embassy, go to Thai Airways Headquarters one day before and make a booking some date near your preferred travel date. They will print out the reservation for you to show at the embassy and enclose it with your Schengen Visa application.

Thai Airways headquarter is near the Pan Fa Bridge ( Ratchdamnoen Khlang Road) and Thanon Lan Luang. Search the internet for the correct address.

Why choose Thai Airways ? If your Thai friend travels for the first time, it is always wise to let her board and fly with people who speak her native language.

And contrary to a previous reply post, you can set the date up to your requirements ( if seats are available ) . Allow enough time ahead as the Visa application process can take up to 2 weeks. The later your choose your flight date, the more time they allow you for cancelling or paying.
