# Bookings

Working with bookings in Airship

### Booking search

Our booking search endpoint allows you to query table bookings on a specific field (i.e. booking reference) to return the booking payload. The Booking ID returned from this call can then be used as a parameter update the booking.

### Booking Update

Our booking update enables partners to provide an update to an existing booking within Airship, for status changes (i.e. cancelations) / reservation updates. In order to update a booking within Airship, the Airship Booking ID is required to be passed as a parameter.&#x20;

Note, [Airships Contacts + Append booking data](/basics/contacts/append-booking-data.md) endpoint will automatically update an existing booking based on if the Booking\_reference is already in Airship.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developers.airship.co.uk/basics/bookings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
