)
In fact, one agent went so far as to check what the ticket number was, to ensure that I hadn't booked on a TG codeshare, but was in fact on an MH ticket - i.e. they would have let me if I had booked on TG paper
Back to the OP, if you don't want to a massage, but do want somewhere peaceful to hang out, my two suggestions are (a) landside, where there are a number of cheap eateries and sitting areas on the mezzanine (between arrivals and departure levels) and top floors of the main terminal, or (b) there are some quiet airside sitting areas on the same level as the lounges (much less frenetic than the main shopping mall/departures level - I happily curled up there for 2 hours with a good book)
