Any idea how this might work if the missed flight was the last flight of the day?

Would you actually have to show your face inside the airport with bags in tow? Only because I would have a rental car and would hate to ditch it when now I need to find a cheap place to sleep.

Would it have to be the very first flight out in the AM (subject to availability of course)? If I have to pay to sleep another night, I might as well enjoy a few more hours in the morning.

I'm thinking this could potentially happen to me Friday night in Tampa because I have a long drive there after not being able to depart oodles of hours in advance. Just preparing...
