Hotel Checkout and Luggage Buffer Calculator
A late flight does not eliminate hotel-departure logistics. Checkout, bag storage, return travel, retrieval queues, and the final trip to the terminal all consume separate blocks. This calculator adds those blocks and shows how much free time remains between checkout and the leave-for-terminal point, helping travellers avoid treating stored luggage as instantly available.
