But just how many people arrive at 0130 when the first departure is 0630? And if you had a good reason wouldn't you be interested in what facilities would be available even if you assumed you could enter the the airport?
easyJet and Ryanair attract price conscious travellers. Some get buses and coaches to the airport or the last train. Not being able to afford a hotel the night before or a taxi on the morning of their departure, they intend to use the airport facilities overnight. At other airports there is plenty of evidence of people doing this.
