Also, ask for the "book exchange". Some books MAY be there, left by FT members, but when I was there last (10 days or so ago,) there were no books. I left one (I was still into the other), inscribed something like "this book courtesy members of www.FlyerTalk.com, please leave another if you can." The agent at the front desk took me to the (empty) cabinet.

BTW, as I recall, it matters not how you got your J or F ticket - cash or award. It should be enough to get you into the AC if you are flying intnernational that day. Clearer heads may prevail if I am incorrect.
