So we will probably have to leave JAX at 6:00 am or so to be safe (we don't want to overnight at a "hub" city).

Also - most flights I'm seeing seem to arrive in Singapore at about midnight - which seems kind of odd to me.

Then - coming home - we are again dealing with a 6:00 am or so flight out of Singapore.

Note that I am only looking at flights on UA metal. Although there are flights with partner airlines - they are all "mixed cabin" (e.g., can't find anything other than Economy on Singapore Airlines segments).

Perhaps I am missing something. I only book about 1 reward ticket a year - if that - and am not the sharpest knife in the block when it comes to booking these tickets. If anyone has any good ideas - I'd be glad to hear them. Thanks, Robyn
