Book through

Is it natural and correct to say
Would you change anything?
You can only book through March 2016. You can't book anything after March 2016. You can only book a year in advance.

Thank you

Yes, it is fairly natural. Your meaning is that a booking may only be made for dates between now and March of 2016--a calendar year forward. The word, "through" represents 'between now and'.

That would not be natural in British English. I'd say 'until'.

You're right. It's an example of the US/UK differences in English. The word through is used in the USA, while the word until is used in the UK.
