Last-Minute Cancellation

Last-Minute Cancellation refers to the act of canceling a reservation, booking, or commitment, such as a hotel stay, flight, or event attendance, at a very short notice, typically within 24 hours or close to the scheduled time. This type of cancellation can often lead to penalties, fees, or loss of deposits, depending on the policies of the service provider involved. Last-minute cancellations can occur for various reasons, including unforeseen circumstances, emergencies, or changes in plans. In many industries, such as travel or entertainment, they can also create challenges in managing inventory and availability.
