Thus far I thought I can only start the return flight after 5 nights at destination. Just reading below Q&A, does this indeed mean as long as I book 5 nights, I can check out say 7pm after 4 nights at destination and take an overnight flight back landing LHR the next morning. So I will have been five nights away, but 5th night on airplane, even though I did have hotel booked for 5 nights? Thanks for confirming!


Q: I will fly to XXX on day 1 and will fly back from XXX on day 5. The flight on day 5 is late in the evening, e.g. 2230. Accordingly I have booked a hotel in XXX for 5 nights and will not check out until e.g. 2100 on day 5 - well into the hotel's night 5 period but before midnight. Does this count?
A: You do not physically need to be in the hotel room at midnight for it to count. But you need to have booked over the midnight.
