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.
This does not meet the terms of the promotion. The trip must be for a
minimum of 5 nights. Your return flight must not be scheduled to depart within 5 nights of the outbound flight. In your example your trip is only for 4 nights.
