Expert Arrival Guide — RDU

🏢

Terminal Navigation

RDU operates two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, connected by a short walkway, with Terminal 2 handling the majority of international and business class departures including American and Delta. American Airlines offers dedicated business class check-in lanes at Terminal 2, allowing premium passengers to bypass standard queues.

🚖

Ground Transport

Taxis and rideshares from RDU to downtown Raleigh run approximately 20 to 25 minutes and cost between $25 and $40, making them the most practical option as no direct rail service connects the airport to the city center.

💡
Editor's Pro Tip

"Business class travelers flying Air France or KLM through RDU can access the American Airlines Admirals Club using a same-day oneworld or SkyTeam partner boarding pass, a benefit many passengers overlook when no dedicated partner lounge is available at this airport."

Delta Sky Club members or business class on Delta flights

RDU hosts the American Airlines Admirals Club in Terminal 2 and the Delta Sky Club, also in Terminal 2, serving business class passengers on eligible itineraries. No dedicated international carrier lounges from Air France, KLM, or other partners operate on-site, so travelers on those airlines typically access the Admirals Club through reciprocal agreements or Priority Pass.
