Airport Sleep options for the family for an early AM check-in..

Our flight (Srilankan Air) departs on Saturday at 9.30am from Changi Airport Singapore. Traveling with 2 kids under 7. We’ll be checking out of our hotel by Friday noon.

Is it advisable to book an airport hotel considering we’ll be having 2 checked bags and 2 carry on bags. No budget stay options available but don’t want to risk booking a cab/taxi early.

1. Would like to know what options do we have at the airport. If we store our bags at the storage area, can we go to the Airside for the night instead of staying landside?

2. ⁠My plan is to explore the airport a couple of hours. Is there a proper place for the kids to sleep for 6-7 hrs at the airport?

3. ⁠Would it be okay to collect the checked bags from the baggage storage area and proceed to check-in when the counter opens around 6.3am? Srilankan Air doesn’t have early bag drop off as per Changi Airport’s App.

Thank you.
