booking

Confirmed travel arrangement

A booking is a reservation or arrangement made in advance—for a hotel room, flight, restaurant table, or performance: I made a booking for two nights.

In entertainment, a booking is a scheduled engagement: The band has three bookings this weekend.

In law enforcement, booking is the process of formally recording an arrest at a police station, including fingerprints and photographs.
