Clean, spacious and modern airport. Highly recommend :) . This is my first time staying in Raleigh and I love it already. I have only driven through or had layovers here before.
Flying back to Nashville is also super easy. Security was super quick

My mom went in the wrong security line twice. Not because it's not clearly labeled, but because she had no idea what she was doing. It's a good medium-size airport that's easy to get through and has all the accomodations you could want.

As far as airports go, it was pretty decent. Everyone will have a different airport experience based on delays, crowds, parking, wait times, and dozens of other factors.
My experience was good. Place was clean, fairly modern, boarding was close to main terminal, so I didn't have to drag my carry-on items through endless corridors like other major airports. Security was fast, and somewhat friendly. Food was wickedly expensive, and the rent-a-car terminal are located pretty far (10 min shuttle) from the airport. If you have a choice, definitely select RDU over Charlotte. The overall experience is drastically better, more efficient, and you won't feel like you just ran a marathon getting to your plane.

Such a simple and easy airport to understand. They have a good number of restaurants and shops to choose from seating can be a bit limited, depending upon who you’re flying with. Checking in does not take long, but still give yourself enough time to not be rushed.

RDU terminal 2 is a bright and open airport.
Today was May 4th, so "May the 4th be with you."
If you don't know what that means, these pictures won't make any sense.
But it was a real fun surprise to see some Star Wars friends visiting this side of the galaxy. Check them out.
Kids and adults alike smiled in recognition of the characters. Thank you

RDU is clean, efficient, and easy to navigate. Security lines move quickly, staff are helpful, and the terminals offer great dining options. Parking is convenient, Wi-Fi is fast, and the airport has a modern, welcoming feel. A top choice for stress-free travel.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) delivers an exceptional travel experience with its efficient security, friendly staff, and top-notch wheelchair services. The airport's affordable overnight parking facilities are among the best, complementing its convenient pick-up/drop-off areas.
Recently renovated, RDU showcases modern amenities like shopping, dining (including Starbucks), spacious seating with charging stations, extra-large bathroom stalls, and elegant clear glass elevators. It's a compact, tidy airport that's both functional and enjoyable!

RDU is the best airport of all time. The airport is extremely well-maintained and has friendly, cooperative, staff. It’s really easy to get through security and the staff are always willing to help. There are lots of restaurants in the concourse including chain restaurants, like Popeyes, but there’s also local restaurants like pizza joints. There are also lots of stores to buy snacks or chips. The airport is relatively clean. This airport is my favorite airport!

Best airport in the world. So new and shiny. Air travel socks, but if absolutely have to do it, this is the least painful place to start or stop. There are green lights in the ceiling of the parking deck to show where the empty spaces are. Solid.

Airport architectural is marvelous with its rich beautiful woodwork. There are many options with seating to charge your devices.
The airport is simple and has only one large main hall, so it's simple to follow directions towards your destination.
I didn't have the privilege to shop and dine, but there were many options to. I look forward to the next time to explore the airport.

This airport is so convenient to travel. Easy to get in and out. They are upgrading the food options here so hopefully we'd have more restaurants to choose from several are under renovation. La farm bakery is the best. I wish restaurants were open much later. They shut early. There is a virtual food hall option too which is nice. Overall convenient and very well managed.

Love the convenience of our airport. I do wish, though, they could not jam so many flights so close together. The 5-8 AM window is just crazy. Other times you feel like you're on the only flight at the terminal. Terminal 1 has more carriers that it used to, but still seems way underutilized compared to T2! I get that holiday travel can cause schedule overloads, but...
Also, drop-off/pick-up process and/or configuration needs re-imagined (more than having security yell at people - not that some don't deserve it!). Distinct lanes with dividers? shuttles only at peak times? Something?! It's just crazy and dangerous at peak times!!...and getting worse every year with all the growth. Management, are you listening?
I wish I had pictures of the congestion and cars jockeying for curbside drop-off position, or to just get out, but who has time for that!

Airport is beautiful. Parking is easy. Shops & restaurants are improving. Never too crowded. Super easy to navigate the whole process.
The real problem is how long it takes to pick up a checked bag. Very slow. It’s so bad that sometimes I ship my items areas of checking a bag. Airport needs to address this

This airport is a modern delight that has great architecture. The terminal is beautiful and easy to navigate, and the food options are immense. It is super simple and easy to use Alamo, and there was such a selection of cars to pick. This airport is definitely one of my favorites. 10/10
