The overnight: eight hours in one airport room

An overnight is the longest booking there is: eight consecutive hours, booked as one block. It is not eight hours of massage. It is a session, a slower stretch, and sleep, in proportions she shapes around the guest's night. She decides what the session includes, across the whole night as in a single hour.

How the eight hours are priced

• One guest, one therapist: a single sum for the whole night, printed on her own page.
• Two guests sharing one therapist: exactly twice that sum.
• One guest, two therapists: a little over double the single night, because two women give up the whole of it.
• Two guests, a therapist each: twice the two-therapist night.

Every overnight carries a deposit of half. At an airport hotel it would carry one anyway, because every airport booking does.

Why airport rooms suit it

Airport hotels are built for sleep: sealed windows, heavy curtains, rooms designed for one night and an early departure. An overnight uses that. The start time is set by the flight. For a nine o'clock departure, with the guest leaving the hotel at half past six, an overnight that starts at a quarter to ten in the evening runs to the alarm.

What to prepare

Pack the case before she arrives, set two alarms, turn the heating down a couple of degrees when the lights go out, and ask reception in advance not to service the room early. The guide to an overnight in an airport hotel room goes through the night hour by hour.

Closing it early

If a guest decides partway through the night that he would rather sleep alone, the booking closes there and the full fee for the eight hours stays due, because the night was held for him. Nothing beyond that fee is ever added. The format on its own terms is set out on the overnight page.
