Booking Window (Lead Time)
The number of days between when a reservation is made and the actual stay date. A booking made 30 days before arrival has a 30-day booking window.
Why it matters: Understanding your booking window patterns helps set pricing strategy. If most bookings come within 7 days, aggressive far-out pricing can be risky. If bookings come 30-60 days out, you have more time to adjust rates based on pace.
