I happened to be on two reasonably late night flights not long ago. I understand there has to be a wind down, but there were big signs up saying duty free flight and then the duty free zone was shut. The bar started to close. It was great for time spent at security. I flew through it. Is there a way to keep anything, such as the shops, open a little longer for those who are using the later flights? It makes sense to sweat the asset. DAA wants planes to leave at all hours, not all at 6 a.m. It is good they are going, but passengers do not really get the same experience of the airport they might get earlier. Is there a possibility for that to be looked at?
