Flights from New York to Raleigh: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from New York to Raleigh 
HartajFlew with Delta-Feb 2026
Not much, honestly. I’d just say: get to LGA a little early so you can actually enjoy it — there’s a surprising number of great shops and restaurants, and the whole place has a good vibe. RDU is solid too, but it can get crowded (likely thanks to the growth around RTP), so occasional delays and bottlenecks do happen. Build in a little buffer time and you’ll be fine. Enjoy the trip!
HartajFlew with Delta-Jun 2025
Newark terminals have gotten better. Security lines were quick. And efficient.
ElenaFlew with Turkish Airlines-Jun 2025
leave plenty of time for your flight so you don't miss your connecting flight, if there is one
HartajFlew with Delta-Nov 2024
Arrive a little early. Gates are far from security due to smaller planes.
HartajFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2024
Flights tend to be full. Get to gate early.
