When in doubt, choose the simpler option first; it is the one least likely to need undoing. Knowing this about How long it takes prevents most mistakes.

Booking window

Write down what you find before you decide anything; it makes the next step obvious. That is the whole of Booking window for most readers.

Cancellation

Cancellation: the line most people need is a 14 to 30 day window, for a full refund. In practice, read the terms before paying a deposit.

Common mistake
