I don’t know how true this is, but the check in agent said Zone E is open “all night”. He personally was on duty until midnight. I appreciate this contradicts KeaneJohn’s experience above, but a good result for me!
The baggage system closes overnight so zone E won’t be open “all night”. While the agent may have been on shift until midnight, he would be given alternative tasks by allocation, usually to assist airside if the person has an airside pass. If they don’t it would usually assist landside either in the office or doing checks across the concourse.
