In case the visa is not issued then this ticket would be wasted.
So, I want to book a fully flexible refundable ticket just for the visa purposes.
Do you know with which airline can I book this ticket so that cancellation is free of charge ?
I checked Air india charges INR 5000 per cancellation.
How about any other airline (indian or non indian) ?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!
I got a Schengen this month itself.. What I have done is as follows.
1. Instead of Booking a Confirmed Ticket .. I got an Itinerary from the TA.. It looks exactly like a ticket and in my experience of 3-4 years it works all the time.
2. Hotel - Go to Booking.com, DO one hotel for your full stay give credit card guarantee (they will not charge it) take a print and then cancel it after getting visa.
3. Insurace - Get an Insurance for the duration for whatever date and they can always go up or down on dates. Make sure you are atleast 3-4 days within time.
4. In case you need the TA's details, let me know, Will PM you.
