This is great advice, especially if close to expiration.

Additionally, If I have an early intl arrival, sometimes I'll burn a cert for the prior night and use the room as my own personal arrivals lounge. It's certainly a lot nicer to get cleaned up in a hotel room and maybe even take a quick nap than it is to deal with the airport lounge after a really long flight.
