How to say "booking" in Japanese

• 予約よやくJLPT N4approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbThe general word for booking in the sense of reserving — a hotel room, restaurant table, flight seat, or an appointment. When you want to say you booked something, this is the word you want.
  「ホテルの予約よやくはしてありますか」「すみませんが、まだなんです」↗

  "Have you reserved a hotel room?" "Sorry, not yet."
• 前売りまえうりJLPT N1approx.Common

  All the seats are sold in advance.
• 計上けいじょうCommon
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbOnly for the accounting sense of booking: recording a cost, profit, or loss in the accounts or totals. It is never used for reserving a room, table, or ticket.
  国防こくぼうのため大おおきな額がくが計上けいじょうされた。↗

  A considerable amount of money was appropriated for the national defense.
