I wonder what I am going to do until that time when my hotel ask me to check out at 14.00 the previous day and I have to spend almost 12 hours on the street waiting for the flight departure.
Personally from a work perspective I really like the late departures. 0245A is VERY late- however the 00:00 departures of LX to ZRH for example are fantastic- you can work, have a dinner with colleagues, arrive at the airport around 22:30, take a shower in the lounge, and then head home.
As for your hotel question- you could always stay another night- or just lounge it at HKG.
