The goal is to create an endpoint to cancel a booking. This involves checking if the booking exists, verifying the booking status, and then proceeding to cancel the booking if it's valid.

Implementation Steps
Verify Booking Existence and Status:

Check if the booking exists in the database using the token ID.
Ensure the booking is in a cancellable state (e.g., it hasn't already been canceled or completed).
Cancel the Booking:

If the booking exists and is valid for cancellation, proceed to delete or update the booking status in the database to indicate that it has been canceled.
Response Handling:

Provide appropriate responses based on the action taken (e.g., confirmation of cancellation or error messages if the booking cannot be canceled).
Detailed Steps
Check Booking Existence:

Fetch the booking using the provided token ID.
If the booking does not exist, return a response indicating that the booking was not found.
Validate Booking Status:

Ensure the booking is in a state that allows cancellation.
If the booking cannot be canceled (e.g., it's already canceled or the travel date has passed), return a response indicating the same.
Cancel Booking:

If the booking is valid for cancellation, update the booking status in the database or delete the booking record.
Return a success response indicating the booking has been canceled.
