I had an outstanding experience at Raleigh‑Durham International Airport. Flying out of Terminal 2 after a business trip was smooth, relaxing, and surprisingly enjoyable. The entire environment felt calm and well‑organized, which made the travel day much easier.
RDU offers an impressive variety of shops and restaurants in both terminals. Whether you want a full meal, a quick snack, or something to browse while waiting for your flight, there’s no shortage of options. Terminal 2 in particular has a great mix of local favorites and national brands, giving travelers plenty of choices without ever feeling crowded or overwhelming.
The people here truly make the difference. TSA agents were kind and efficient, airport staff were friendly and attentive, and the airline team handled everything with professionalism and a welcoming attitude. It’s clear that customer service is a priority at RDU.
Clean facilities, great amenities, and genuinely helpful staff make RDU a fantastic place to travel through. -
My hometown airport, and I always love to visit. It's larger than it was when I was a child, but definitely nothing large like some of the major hubs. A good variety of foods, comfort and atypically no issues for me!

My son and I are continuing the tradition of going every year to the NY Mets baseball home opening game. We usually fly out of PTI to LaGuardia. With all the bad publicity in regard to TSA and the major lines, we decided to fly to Islip McArthur Airport on Long Island instead. This was mainly to avoid LaGuardia when returning. Unbeknownst to us RdU has direct flights to Islip. We figured the 2 hour trip from Winston would be worth it. We still feared delays and for a 9:38am flight we decided to leave at 4:15am in case of delays. We arrived at 7:15 and parked in the long term parking. This cost $21 a day but you can reserve ahead of time and save so
E money. We parked, walked in, checked in, went through TSA and got to our gate all within half hour! Absolutely no lines, no chaos, & NO Hielo! This airport is great! We have so much time to kill and rest at our gate, it’s ridiculous. People are not lying when they say that it’s a pleasure flying out and into RDU. Our only complaint is the expense of food, but that’s at every airport throughout the country. Definitely worth a drive here instead of Charlotte! -
Flying out of RDU today from Terminal 2. What a cool terminal. One long terminal having both C and D gates. The woodwork and architecture are very beautiful. Tons of shops to choose from, food area’s and bars to visit while waiting for your plane to board.

Had to show love to Raleigh-Durham International Airport—my home base! Overall, RDU is a solid airport that gets the job done. With the growth of the Triangle over the last 20 years, this airport has experienced growing pains as it’s adjusted to increased volume. The recent additions of new restaurants and bars is nice. Terminal 2 is the main terminal that most major airlines fly out of (except Southwest). Traffic gets congested at busy times surrounding the airport… it will be nice when the new DOT work is completed in the next couple of years. Looking forward to the new RDU once the next phase of upgrades are completed.
