A short advance booking period increases flexibility, reduces long-term no-shows and keeps calendars up to date, but limits planning for users and can prevent early bookings. A long advance booking period offers a high degree of planning security and early utilisation, but tends to lead to rebookings/cancellations, longer blockages and more complicated adjustments.
