That is very tricky with an international ticket, checking in, obtaining a boarding pass, then "immediately cancel it once you enter the SkyClub"? So you ask the agents in the Club to refund it? What is your reason? "Now that I had a drink in the overcrowded SkyClub, I no longer want to fly."? Sounds very strange to me.
If the SC is as bad as many people say it is, why would you even want to enter it?
