We are planning to take our little one to the swimming pool there - something she loves but also to tire her out for the connecting flight.

or a bus tour?

Transit Hotel in airport - http://www.airport-hotel.com.sg/
Its very basic but a comfy bed & a shower are hard to turn down!

Free internet access in the main hall and also big screen TV - when we were last there in 2003 they were showing international football all the time!

Do an early baggage check in then visit the city or the zoo then go back for your flight. They have arranged tours for people in your situation

First get off the plane and head straight for the massage chairs - 10 sing dollars for 15mins of fab massage from head to toe to relax you after the flight.

Secondly book for the free city tour. They start at 10am and take a couple of hours and you get to see all the main bits of the city.

Third, go back to the airport hotel and take advantage of a room and the pool, gym etc.

Don't forget to leave a couple of hours for wandering around the airport. It is lovely (well as lovely as an airport can get) there are indoor gardens, streams with fishes. The shops are lovely and there are internet posts all over the place which give free access.

Also good range of foods up on the mezzanine floor.

There are working travelators everywhere so getting to your departure gate only takes a few minutes.
