If you arrive in F and have a connecting F or J international flight from the same terminal, you can use the F lounge.

Makes no sense. If one is a connecting passenger with an outbound international TG J or F boarding pass, then you should be able to use one of the lounges in between your arriving and departing flights. Or if you are a *Gold flying on a *A intl outbound in any class of service, you have access to some lounges (C and E concourses, I think, both of which have showers).

If connecting from inbound international to a TG domestic flight, you should be able to go through transfer immigration then access the lounge in the domestic concourse. To be sure, this isn't the same thing as the F lounge in the intl part of airside. Maybe this is what you are talking about--that you aren't allowed access to the F lounge in the international part of the concourse when you arrive, before your domestic connection. (Frankly, I thought this non-access on arrival had always been the official policy.)

If you were escorted thru immigration how would you get to the F lounge!?

Exactly what I was thinking. Once past immigration, you only have the domestic lounge, for which there is no F section.

Less than 2 weeks ago, I was connecting from an international flight to a domestic flight. I was able to go upstairs and use the international TG C lounge, based on being *A. Of course security isn't likely to let you through if you show them a domestic boarding pass. But just mentioning some international destination and that you need to go to the transfer desk is enough for them to allow you through. But I was arriving in C, not F, and didn't try to use the F lounge. I did once have a domestic C boarding pass and asked about the spa, and was told it is strictly for international C passengers. So C lounges ok for domestic C boarding pass or Y boarding pass + *G. Spa lounge not accessible with domestic boarding pass. F lounge ???

The only words I ever speak at the base of the escalator: Transfer desk. And this is often as I slalom past the confused pax at the food of the escalator fishing for their BPs.

Once you've been upstairs, how do you get back down to go through the transit immigration and into the domestic departure area?

A_Lee

In reference to the Concourse C security checkpoint, from exiting the checkpoint, make a left, then make another left into a corridor, with a door at the end of it. Go through the doorway, then down the escalator. At any other checkpoints there is a similar escalator that will take you back down. Never have been asked any questions in the dozens of times I've done it. There may be a security guard at the bottom of the escalator, but he is only there to prevent someone from trying to run up the escalator to avoid the security checkpoint.

Indeed. But in the "past" a buggy waited for us to take us past security to the F lounge. Then someone escorted us till immigration at the entrance of the domestic concourse, in time for our HKT flight.
Bad for TG If that does not exist anymore.

There's a small hallway just to the right of the 'Info' desk adjacent to the exit of the east transfer security. This hallway leads to the escalator set you took up to the 3rd floor.

dsquared37

The security guard at the base of the escalator at the C checkpoint (East transfer) is ensuring that domestic transfer pax don't go upstairs. As the security checkpoint is on the 3rd floor someone running up the escalator won't be avoiding anything.

Perhaps you are referring to the E/F/G security (West transfer) where the security checkpoint is downstairs on the 2nd floor?
