Hold; Put a hold on...
Not that "reservation" is wrong, but it generally implies a more formal contractual arrangement with legal obligations. Cancellation (unless otherwise agreed) usually involves fees.
I think the nuance is closer to "hold a seat on another flight (etc)," or "Put a hold on another flight (etc)"
