Get the childobjects of type button and click accordingly based on the index

for ex

Code:
set allButtons=browser().Page().childobjects(<button type>)

for i=0 to allButtons.length-1

allButtons(i).click

next

If you want to click one button then get the i value and click accordingly.
Hope this helps

Well, then you may have to take a user input for index and go a head .
i=inputbox("Enter the index")
However if the neighbouring objects of "Book Now" button doesn't change then you can use visual Relation identifiers available with QTP11.0.For more info on visual relation identifiers see the below thread
