Same here... I generally always choose to break the flights by a day or two.
And I can recommend the Le Meridien near the airport for your stay. Your status will get you upgraded to the new(ish) Le Royal Club building. The club lounge is great - and you can get free food more or less all day (I'm typing this from there!).
You also get free Airport transfers. I got an Audi A6 last night.
