The length of time you can hold a flight reservation depends on the airline, booking platform, and sometimes the fare type. Here’s a breakdown:
Airline Policies
• Some airlines offer a free 24-hour hold.
• Others allow you to hold a reservation longer (often up to 72 hours or even a week) for a fee.
Online Travel Agencies (OTAs)
• Certain agencies, such as Schengen Visa Itinerary, provide “dummy ticket” services for visa applicants. These temporary bookings can be later converted into confirmed tickets or cancelled if the visa is rejected.
• Such tickets are usually valid for 2–3 weeks, helping applicants avoid paying the full ticket price upfront.
Summary:
Freehold: usually 24 hours.

What is a flight reservation?
A flight reservation is a booking of a seat on a specific flight, held in your name with a unique confirmation number. It's a temporary hold on a seat, distinct from a flight ticket, which is issued after payment. Essentially, it's a detailed plan of your travel itinerary, including flight details, passenger information, and sometimes payment information. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Reservation vs. Ticket: A reservation secures a seat on a flight, while a ticket is proof of purchase for that seat and allows you to board the plane. PNR: When a reservation is made, a Passenger Name Record (PNR) is created. This record contains all the details of your flight booking and is used to manage your reservation. Payment: Reservations can be made with or without immediate payment. Some systems allow for a period between reservation and payment, while others require immediate payment. Purpose: Reservations are essential for confirming your travel plans and can also be used for visa applications or other travel-related purposes. Checking in: When you arrive at the airport, your reservation will be used to check you in for your flight, assign a seat, and print your boarding pass. Why It's Used in Visa Applications • Shows proof of travel intent • Helps verify entry and exit dates • Avoids the risk of losing money in case of visa denial To avoid scams when making a flight reservation, we recommend using Schengen Visa Itinerary to book a flight without requiring full payment.
