Submit a Swiss Schengen application through VFS Global in Nairobi. The Kenya harmonised list asks for proof of return travel arrangements; general Kenya Schengen guidance accepts a preliminary ticket booking or travel itinerary and says that buying a ticket is unnecessary at this stage. A schedule without a PNR may fit that alternative wording, subject to the Swiss and VFS instructions for your application. If your centre requests a reservation, provide one.

What to show for your flights
Show your return travel arrangements. The shared Kenya guidance allows a preliminary ticket booking or travel itinerary; a schedule-only itinerary may be suitable if the Swiss submission instructions do not ask for a reservation.
Choosing an itinerary
A schedule without a PNR shows proposed flights but cannot be looked up as an airline booking. It may fit a travel-itinerary option when the relevant centre permits it. If your document list asks for a reservation, use a genuine reservation instead.
Before you submit
Check the latest Swiss document list and the VFS instructions before choosing schedule-only evidence.
