The hotels in India really make out well on this. Typical arrival times for long haul flights is 11p - 1am and typical departures run midnight to 4am so hotels get folks booking night they arrive when the get to hotel at early am hours and departing guests generally get at least a half day charge if not a full night to hold a room until 9 or 10pm day of departure. So hotels get to rent the room twice for the same night and have a standard housekeeping shift that turns rooms over in the hours around midnight.
