Flight from Detroit to Raleigh

LoluFlew with Icelandair-Aug 2026

Be very vigilant when it comes to your gate number - it might change.

HartajFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026

My main tip is to allow a bit of extra time at SFO, since the airport is currently undergoing renovations. It is nothing unmanageable, but giving yourself a little buffer can help avoid delays.

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!

TonyFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2025

Bring your own snacks - no food service👍🏼

MitchellFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2026

United had a direct flight to RDU - worked out well just need to manage food timing as arriving in RDU after 9 PM, very limited availability for healthy food. rental car transfer at RDU went very smoothly

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.

Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024

Make sure, if you are flying internationally and this is your connecting flight- you have time to get through border control and you will need to claim your baggage and drop it off again.

HartajFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2024

Flights tend to be full. Get to gate early.
