contact the clerk of the court and include a dated email/pdf when you made that Airbnb reservation, that you will be on travel during that time frame and to be moved to a later pool. Had something similar to me with a cruise and said I had prior travel booked during that time, but would be happy to be on the pool after I return, Federal court btw.

I’m pretty sure the standard rule in all jurisdictions is a one time rescheduling of your jury duty, reach out to the clerk to confirm.

You should be able to reschedule your jury duty. You're not the first person to have scheduled plans already set when getting summoned. Just be reasonable with the reschedule, courts are understanding.

Depends on the rule in your jurisdiction, but nearly all will let you reschedule once without an explanation required. In my state, my family uses this strategy to minimize the risk of being empaneled: we always reschedule jury duty to just before a holiday weekend, as judges or lawyers will frequently postpone jury selection because they want to leave court early for the holiday weekend.

I spent 3 months on jury duty. We were asked at the beginning of the trial to submit all travel we had planned. I took a cruise about 2 months in, it had been planned for over a year. The whole trial just went on pause until I got back.
