Advance booking requests

[Helen538]

As usual, when I want to communicate direct with Airbnb, I can't find any way to do so.  

Airbnb - if you monitor these comments - its unnecessary to only allow 24hours to respond to a booking request for dates A YEAR IN ADVANCE.  This deadline should be substantially extended.

I haven't even set all my prices that far ahead yet, and now that there's a booking request, I can do so for those dates !!!!!!

Sorry I meant to say I "can't" reset the prices  not that I can.  Oops !

@Helen538 Is your calendar already open for the dates the customer is inquiring about? If so, maybe shorten your booking window? You can make it for as short as 3 months in the future if you're unsure what you want your pricing to be a year out.

You can set your pricing as far in advance as you want, even if days aren't open to book yet. If I'm unsure, I just set it high and adjust it later.

Is it a request, or just an inquiry? If it's an inquiry, just send a written response and don't accept or decline.
