Poking around the Web this morning, we came across the USA Today travel section highlighting the popularity of smaller airports among frequent fliers. Our point with this original post exactly.  Okay, so Raleigh wasn t mentioned specifically in the article but nevertheless, RDU still holds many of the same qualities alluded to in the article.
From a business perspective, our area was once defined solely by Research Triangle Park , which houses some of the world's most recognized brands. The largest research park in the country, it's no doubt one of the world s foremost science and technology hotbeds.

This is the system that fuels our growth, providing countless reasons for so many people to move here.
In a recent conversation with an executive at Durham's McKinney new york new york hotel las vegas , a top-notch national advertising firm that spins messaging for companies like Nationwide, Sony, Audi and Travelocity, I couldn't new york new york hotel las vegas help but find it compelling that their company touts RDU International Airport as one of our region's greatest business strengths.
The person I spoke with illustrated that the airport's locale and ease of use once made it simple for them to plant portions of a pitch to a visiting potential client along the roads leading away from RDU and toward their office. That's cool. But it might not be as possible anymore.
new york new york hotel las vegas For years, RDU sat quietly in northwest new york new york hotel las vegas Raleigh, funneling people in and out of a single road that wound around a hill on the outskirts of Umstead State Park . The proximity of the Angus Barn , even though a top-notch steak house, only helped further the stigma of RDU being a one-horse airport.
Business executives loved the simplicity of our airport. Flights were cheap, lines were short, taxis easy to find and the car rental offices didn't require a 25-minute shuttle ride. An arriving passenger could be off of their plane and at a meeting in RTP in under 20 minutes.
Terminal C has been completely revamped into a sleek, contemporary destination for air travel. The old country road is now fenced off and airport access is guided by broad, highway-spanning new york new york hotel las vegas signs above each surrounding thoroughfare. New parking garages new york new york hotel las vegas are up and sculptors have been commissioned.
Terminal A remains a temporary line of elevated, well, trailers. There are plans to build anew on its side of RDU as well to complete what many will feel is a travel hub worthy of the Triangle's business environment. But many think we've always had that.
Folks thinking of moving here can rest assured that RDU remains an easy, relatively uncrowded new york new york hotel las vegas airport. Access is still a snap and there are plenty of direct flights to and from most of the country's major metros. Family is never far away.
