A PNR is a booking reference for a flight reservation. It does not by itself mean that a flight ticket has been issued. A ticketed itinerary includes a ticket number.

Frequently asked questions

Which flight itinerary should I prepare for a France visa?
Use the France-Visas assistant to get the checklist for your nationality and purpose of travel. If it asks for flight-booking evidence, Tripenger recommends a genuine reservation with a booking reference (PNR). Your personalised checklist determines the documents you need.
Where can I submit my French visa application in South Africa?
Complete your France-Visas application, then book with CAPAGO in Johannesburg or Cape Town. The French Consulate General in Johannesburg assesses the application.
Can I use CAPAGO in Durban?
Contact CAPAGO to confirm its biometric mission dates and the arrangements for submitting your application. Do this before making travel plans for an appointment in Durban.
What is the difference between a schedule, a PNR reservation and a ticketed itinerary?
A schedule shows your planned flights without a PNR. A PNR reservation includes a booking reference but does not by itself mean a ticket has been issued. A ticketed itinerary includes an issued ticket number. Choose the document that meets the instructions for your application.
Does a flight itinerary guarantee visa approval?
No. A flight itinerary is one part of your supporting evidence. The visa authority assesses your full application and makes the decision.
