unbooking

Canceling a reservation

Unbooking is the act of canceling or reversing a booking—removing a reservation that was previously made.

The term appears in travel, hospitality, and scheduling contexts: After the flight change, I spent an hour unbooking and rebooking hotels.

It can also refer to releasing someone from a commitment: The agency started unbooking talent when the production fell through.
