booking refers ''making a reservation''; the word حجز seems to convey this meaning.
''قطع'' refers to purchasing/buying the ticket.
So is my understanding with due respect to the colleagues' opinions of course.
| I assumed this was the sense - it's unclear if he's paid for the ticket or not, so booked would be the best option! |
| agree |
Lotfi Abdolhaleem
: Because booking could take place without purchasing a ticket.

Thanks Lotfi. The translator may have the clues to the exact meaning, by virtue of the context.

Saeed Najmi
: The example given to support your answer refers to getting a ''boarding pass'' at the boarding gate. Passengers board their plane right away then. The context provided here says that Mahdi went outside, so couldn't have been at the airport altogether.

: That is exactly what I clarified above, without specifying the varieties. In order to get more contextual clues, I asked the translator to explain what Mahdi, the protagonist in the sentence, went out in the dark of the night for; no response yet.
