Even if you could get past this checkpoint, once in the International departures area, there is no way to get back to the international arrivals corridor to clear customs and then go to your domestic flight.

On a side note, there are plenty of things see and do on the domestic councourses (shopping, restaurant, lounges).

Thanks for the replies/clarifications! I expected the above answers, but was just making sure.

The hope was to go to the "Wait N' Rest" and get a few hours of sleep on an actual bed. Do any of the domestic lounges have daybeds? (My research says no.)
