I actually ran into this situation a few months ago when I was trying to book a Horizon Air flight from Portland to Boise for a weekend trip. I wanted to lock in the price but wasn’t 100% sure about my schedule, so I called Horizon Air’s support to ask if I could hold the flight before paying. The agent explained that Horizon (under Alaska Airlines) doesn’t offer a formal “hold” option online, but if you book directly through their site, you usually get a 24-hour grace period to cancel or modify without penalty. That worked perfectly for me—I booked the flight, confirmed my plans the next day, and kept it. Honestly, that short window saved me from losing a great fare. If you ever need to book, cancel, or change a Horizon Air ticket instantly, I recommend doing it directly on their website or through their mobile app.
