My main tip is to allow a bit of extra time at SFO, since the airport is currently undergoing renovations. It is nothing unmanageable, but giving yourself a little buffer can help avoid delays.

United had a direct flight to RDU - worked out well just need to manage food timing as arriving in RDU after 9 PM, very limited availability for healthy food. rental car transfer at RDU went very smoothly
