You should talk to your airline and/or travel agent to find out what options they are aware of.
I missed this awhile back - but generally when you transit, you are just dumped right back in the departures area after transit security. The special waiting areas must be for certain passengers that they need to keep an eye on and aren't supposed to be in 'general circulation' for whatever reason.
