For this reason, I highly advise walking (or taking a landside shuttle bus) from TBIT to T7 after checking in and dropping bags at TBIT. You will still need to make the 40 minute trek back to TBIT, but it will only take 15-20 minutes to get to T7 landside (outside on the sidewalk).
wish I saw this before walking over from tbit. It around a 30 min journey airside there and the lounge was pretty busy in the morning. Breakfast is still decent and the salmon tart and avacado toast is very very good. Definitely budget even more time if you want to trek over from tbit.
