But, with a bit of bad luck (huge success rate) your departing flight will be delayed and you will be hanging around the central area before security, waiting for the lounge to open. Then, when it finally does, be prepared for a fight with the lounge manager who will tell you that you are not allowed in as a TK passenger, even though you're *G AND there's a sign on the desk welcoming *G members.
When you've finally fought your way in you will find there are no hot drinks available yet, nor any food, nor juices, just hard liquor.... Nor are there any private restrooms, you will have to go back and use the dirty ones in the central terminal area.

O joy...
