A real Switzerland visa file: one flight reservation, four hotels, nine nights, every date matched

The trip in one table: ten days, nine nights

Every row is read off the documents below: the flight dates from the flight reservation, each night from a hotel confirmation.

Four things that match

Arrival and first check-in

The outbound flights land in Zurich at 12:05 on Fri 4 Dec 2026; the first hotel’s check-in is the same day.

No missing night

3 in Zurich, 3 in Geneva, 2 in Lucerne, 1 in Zurich Airport: 9 nights, and each check-out is the next hotel’s check-in.

Last night and return flight

The last check-out is on Sun 13 Dec 2026, the day the return flight leaves Zurich at 10:30; that last night is at the airport hotel.

One traveller on every document

The flight reservation and each of the four hotel confirmations is for one adult.

The flight reservation: Hyderabad to Zurich and back

An Etihad itinerary in Economy class, issued on 5 November 2026. Each flight shows the booking status “Confirmed” and an airline PNR. It is a reservation held without the fare being paid: proof of itinerary for the visa file, not a ticket to fly on.

To read a reservation like this one against the airline’s own record, see how to check a PNR on the airline’s website and the Etihad booking check. A document with each field explained is on the dummy ticket sample page.

The four hotel bookings: 9 nights, no gaps

One confirmation per stay, each naming the hotel, its address and phone number, the check-in and check-out dates and the guest. Each check-out date is the next hotel’s check-in date.
