Re: SLOW Lounge. Lady at check-in said I was fine to use the lounge however upon presenting my J arrival boarding card was told under no circumstances was I entitled or able to use the lounge unless I was in possession of a J domestic ticket! So wasn’t fine I’m afraid.
Pity.

FWIW, this may be a useful point for me to repeat my recommended walking route for international --> domestic connections (with which some other FTers agree). It is less crowded than the route you would take if you were simply to follow the signs.
When you emerge from customs, the main public meet-and-greet area is to your right, with the SA re-check facility ahead and slightly to the left. Do not go into the main meet-and-greet area.
Instead keep to the left and turn hard left opposite the SA re-check facility. There is an up escalator here. Go up that. At the top, turn left, exit through the door and turn left again. Walk around the atrium (the public meet-and-greet area is below you at this point). Continue through the corridor lined with shops on both sides (Woolworths is on the left hand side of this corridor).
When you emerge from that corridor, there's an escalator to your right. Go up that, and you will be in the Terminal B check-in area. Comair check-in desks are towards the far end of the building, closer to domestic departures security.
