On several occasions we have got the horror 2am flight to Perth and to enable us to have the room until we actually depart for the airport we have booked it into the day of the morning that we leave, if that makes sense. Otherwise late checkout at most hotels is normally only until 6pm which means you have to find somewhere to amuse yourself and leave your luggage until you depart for the airport.
For instance, if we were leaving on the 2am flight on 30/6/10 we would book the room to depart on 30/6/10 even though we actually would check out around 11pm on the 29/6/10. It's paying for an extra night but gives you somewhere to rest and have a shower prior to the flight.
