Cultural Tip
In German business communication it is common to confirm bookings in writing (e‑mail) and to use the verb *bestätigen* for formal contexts. When speaking, you can also say *die Buchung erledigt* (the booking is taken care of) for a more casual tone. Remember that *Buchung* can refer to travel, hotel, event tickets, or any scheduled service, so the surrounding context clarifies the exact meaning.
