When a visa application asks for a flight itinerary and you're traveling with a child, prepare a travel plan that clearly includes every passenger who will fly. The important details are the child's name, the accompanying adult, matching travel dates and a route that fits the trip. You don't need to turn a family holiday into an expensive airfare commitment before you've decided how to handle the booking.
Start with one believable family trip
Imagine two parents planning a week in Paris with their seven-year-old daughter. The family wants to fly from Istanbul to Paris on 10 April and return on 17 April. They have a hotel in mind, but they don't want to purchase three nonrefundable tickets while the visa application is still being reviewed.
A coherent flight reservation for the application would show the intended dates and routing, with the relevant passengers identified. The family can use the same itinerary in their supporting files where the application process allows it, rather than inventing separate routes for each person.
