Ah, I didn't realize international flights and domestic flights depart from different areas that are not crossable.
Thanks for the explanation.

And consider the F lounge staff, who check your Boarding pass for your international departure as the third obstacle
Sorry for asking the same question again, I should have done a search first.
I understand the int->dom transfer logistics now, so I won't try to convince any TG employees to allow me into the F lounge.

My apologies for not doing a search first.
Too bad the F lounge is only for international departures, I would have loved to nap in there before I catch my connecting flight to HKT. (my connection time is several hours unfortunately.)
