Sleep planSleep primarily in the first half of the long-haul; wake for the latter half — light, a meal, a walk. That lines up with Singapore night/morning so you arrive ready to stay up until a normal local bedtime. Avoid caffeine late in the flight.
Check-in reminder: United check-in for both flights opens Tue Aug 25 — UA 4700 at 7:00 AM CDT, UA 29 at 11:00 AM PDT. Upload your passport to the United website/app the day before departure. One check-in covers both legs of this one-way booking.
