Most situations are like yours, except:
* There is a change in status since your booking/ticketing, e.g. OP's case.
* BA may sometimes ask for your card.
In TPE, the F room is at the end of the J lounge. There are really nothing special about the F room except it is not as busy as the J lounge outside (unlike HKG, where there is quite a big difference between J and F).
