Schengen Flight Reservation Visa provides real flight reservations for visa application purposes, but according to their FAQs,

Our all provided itineraries are valid for up to 72 hours to up to 2 weeks time duration.

In particular, you will not be able to travel using this reservation. The 40 pounds you paid are not "part of the price of the ticket", it's just the fee that the website charges for this service. You can't get this money back or apply it toward the cost of the actual ticket.

Typically, the country you are travelling to will not require you to travel on the exact same flights you indicated when applying for the visa, so you are now free to book any flights you like on any airline, for example using a search engine like Google Flights.

If you want to avoid paying for such a service in the future, there are some options:

  • If you already know which flights you want to take and are confident that your visa application will be accepted, simply book the flights that you want before applying and show the embassy the booking confirmation.
  • Otherwise, you could try to find an airline that offers fully refundable tickets on your route. Then book such a fully refundable ticket and use it to apply for the visa. If the application is rejected, cancel the ticket. If the application is accepted, you can cancel the ticket and book the flights that you want, or you can choose to just keep the ticket. Note that not all airlines offer such fully refundable tickets, so make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.
  • A travel agent may also be able to provide an itinerary for you without buying a ticket, buy they might charge you a fee for it.
