문화적 배경
The concept of a fixed 'checkout time' became standard with the rise of modern hotel chains in the mid-20th century. It allows staff to flip rooms efficiently. In some cultures, checkout is more flexible, but in English-speaking countries, it is usually a firm deadline.
The 'Late' Request
If checkout is at 11:00 AM but your flight is at 5:00 PM, ask for a 'late checkout.' Many hotels give you an extra hour or two for free if they aren't busy!
Avoid the Fee
Some hotels use electronic keys that stop working exactly at checkout time. Don't leave your bags inside at the last minute!

What It Means
This phrase is your best friend when traveling. It is a simple way to ask for the deadline to move out. You are asking for the specific hour the hotel needs the room back. Usually, they need time to clean for the next guest. If you stay past this time, you might have to pay more.
How To Use It
You can say this to the person at the front desk. You can also ask this over the phone from your room. It is a direct question, so you don't need many extra words. Just walk up and ask. It is very common and expected in the travel world.
When To Use It
Use it the night before you leave. Use it on the morning of your departure. It is perfect for hotels, hostels, or Airbnb stays. If you are at a campsite, you can use it there too. It helps you decide if you have time for one last breakfast.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this at a restaurant or a friend's house. It sounds a bit like you are treating your friend like a hotel manager! Also, don't use it if you are the one hosting. If you want someone to leave your house, this phrase is too formal and weird.
Cultural Background
In Western culture, checkout times are usually between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Hotels are very strict about this because of cleaning schedules. If you ask nicely, some hotels might give you a 'late checkout.' This is a secret way to get two more hours of sleep for free! Americans and Europeans value punctuality here.
Common Variations
