So, I'm thankful for any suggestions, too. I won't have lounge access () as I booked a non-alliance carrier... and I guess T2 is even more miserable than T1, is it? Worst case, I will just walk around and get my steps counter up.. when I was stuck in TPE last year due to a flight delay, I clocked in some 20000 steps over the course of a morning (And found the free shower well hidden there )

The layover will be in the morning (5-9am) so no booze suggestions, please

Any pay-in lounge that's worth it's while? Or any restaurant open at that time that does reasonable breakfast? Would love some Jian Bing as seemingly all places in Singapore that offer it are unable to make them even half as good as the ones I enjoyed in China at the most rundown corner shop..
Can’t really offer much advice only than to state that walking the length of Terminal 2 is almost exactly one kilometer. That way you’ll know how many KM’s you’ve done once you’ve finished your walking.

Also, even with visa free access they’d still probably ask you to stay airside with only a 4 hour connection.
