Why the 24-36 Hour Window?

Hotels finalise group room blocks 48-72 hours before arrival. Individual cancellations peak in the 24-48 hour range. This creates a brief window where revenue managers can see what will actually remain unsold.

Sending your request in this window means the hotel has real data to work with. Earlier requests are speculative; later ones miss the flexibility window.
