..she rarely comes to NYC. As soon as I saw her Ad I booked. For locals I generally book 3 or 4 days in advance.

One downside of this biz is that most men makes decisions based on horniness. They are horny "right now". They don't know if they'll be horny 4 days from now lol.  

12:05 pm John: are you available?

12:25 pm Sasha: hey. Yes I am.  

12:26 on John: I'm sorry. You took to long. I rubbed one out.  

Wtf. This happened to me today... I won't be seeing that person no more.

I am not a last minute type of guy

So yes I always pre book and in general at least a few days before hand.

{$0.02 or $0.03}

For touring ladies it mostly helps them a great deal to see what kind of ROI they'll get for making the trip & staying a few days-- (even moreso when they're with an agency!..is it worth the trip.
 It was considerate of you to do that, and hopefully other men did too!
I always appreciated it when i toured.

{To Julia & TSSasha:  EXACTLY!! lol

I used to pre-book and too often they cancel because of a unforeseen event.  After so many unforeseen events of plans falling through I have found better luck planning the night before or morning of for the following night.

...to book two appointments in advance to make sure I get a crack at her crack.

I have found that 1-2 days is generally the ideal time frame for me to book in advance. It is far enough in advance that the provider can usually finish her screening without having to rush to get it done in time for the appointment and to take care of any other arrangements. It is also close enough to the actual appointment time that there is less risk of either party having to cancel on the other party.  It does pose the risk of missed opportunities, if the provider's schedule fills up before you book with her, but that has only happened to me a handful of times. 1 to 2 days in advance has otherwise worked fine for me.

I don't know if I will be in the mood to see an escort until the day of the event.  

I don't know what my schedule will be like days in advance.  

It takes up mental bandwidth to schedule in advance and then be thinking about the appointment (and I can't help  thinking about it, once it is scheduled)

I dont like to schedule and then cancel, as that is not fair to the provider.  

and perhaps most importantly, one of the lines I draw in the hobby is to not let it dominate my real life.  So, I will schedule something if, say, I find myself on a particular day with a bunch of free time.  but I am not going to book ahead and then have to cancel or miss things in real life because of a hobby appointment.

For these reasons, I often use agencies.  

Having said all that, I totally understand why providers like to schedule in advance and I am a little surprised that they do not offer more discounts for those who do

I can never do last minute, or same day sessions. Everything has to be pre booked. Completely the opposite of the old days of taking several numbers, and hoping one was available.

I prefer for everyone to Pre-book. I work a job, and sometimes have a lot going on so pre-booking works best for me. It allows me to move my schedule around to accomidate your appointment. I do have a strict cancellation policy. When I tour and take time off of work, I don't travel without pre-booked appointments. If I am traveling for work, and placed a touring ad, I am seeing you in between an already hectic schedule.

...I mostly hobby on business travel and want to have my recreation nailed down prior to the trip.  I book 7-21 days in advance.

One of my regulars only needs 24 hours notice, one books same day only, and one travels...the traveler usually posts an ad about a week in advance and I contact her immediately...

I did just book with a new to me girl for January 8...if it's someone who's routine is unfamiliar to me I usually initiate contact about 2 weeks ahead...

Regardless if traveling or local 5-7 days in advance seems to work best. Pre-booking saves both parties time & money in this crazy age of instant messaging, traffic & stress...

Many have expressed that pre-booking leads to a higher rate of cancelation, I've experienced the opposite. I've experienced pre-booking to be more reliable and a better overall experience because she was able to properly plan her life and schedule. I've experienced rush sessions where she was coming from somewhere last minute and was in rush to be some where right after. Felt rushed and she was less engaged. She had many great reviews but I caught her on a hectic day. Pre-book helps minimize those experiences.

One of my favorites hosts a couple days in my area, twice a month. With her, I book about a week in advance to secure a slot  

Local providers - usually same day, but I might book one or two days in advance.

I try to feel out the ladies schedule a week in advance if it's not on her web site.  Than I try to book 3-5 days in advance as I typically book during the workweek and I need to clear the deck of meetings - we LOVE to have meetings...   LOL...

This way I've only once had to cancel the day before.

When I am home a gent must let me know at least the night before (even if already a client).  
Guys just don't get the fact that we do not sit around showered, shaved, all dressed up and waiting
for the last minute call!! Plus on top of that I need to make sure my Incall is immaculate.
Most importantly I do not want to be rushed in any way.  Last minute will tick me off beyond
anything you can imagine and I will not subject myself or the gent to feeling that coming from me.

While on tour, I have no issues with last minute BUT screening does take time and I don't
have something else booked.  So it is always best to prebook..

Plus...alot of ladies encourage prebooking by offering a special...I know I do!!

So why not prebook ahead of time and make things easier on all ....
