Insert multiple objects with Django

I have this simple booking system made with Python/Django and I want my customers to be able to make multiple bookings with my booking form.

Example :

I want to book Room A for 1 night

AND

I want to book Room B for 2 nights (not necessarily the same nights)

AND

I want to book Room C for 1 night

My actual code let me make only one booking at a time, verify if the room is available, calculate the price depending on certain rules (number of nights, base price of the room, weekends, long weekends, holidays).

Here is my models.py : http://pastebin.com/QNpx8SaF

Here is my forms.py : http://pastebin.com/vXvHWyWk

Here is my form template : http://pastebin.com/TsMw71wg

I am not sure how to do this. Should I make a list and store all the bookings ?

How can I add a button in my form to add (n) more bookings and make sure they don't overlap on each other.

Any tips on how the validation and insert should work ? I guess I should validate all the bookings before I insert.

Thanks

You can implement formsets (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/formsets/) just for create multiple bookings at the same time and probably an add and delete button (https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1389/) to add an delete dynamically new bookins.

You can customise the formset validation for availability and probably change you validation method just for receive an argument with a list of unsaved bookings
