Big family weekend draws crowds to RDU, Triangle
Although the summer months are the busiest season of the year at RDU, the combined traffic from Mother's Day and graduations typically make it one of the single busiest weekends at the airport.

That combination feeds into an expected spike in traffic into and out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport beginning Friday.
RDU predicts that Friday will be the busiest day of the long weekend, with another spike on Monday as those who visit the Triangle head back home. The airport expects more than 177,000 passengers to fly through the airport this weekend, an increase of 22.7% over the same weekend last year.
To prepare, passengers should arrive at the airport two hours early for their scheduled flights.
To limit traffic congestion, the airport recommends that those picking up passengers wait in the cell phone lot, located at 1000 Trade Dr. on the RDU campus.
