Flight
For family and friends flying in from New York, use Google flights (link below) and search for NYC to RDU for the desired dates. The flight Ryan and I normally take is Jetblue from JFK.
Flight
For family and friends flying in from Louisiana, use Google flights (link below) and search for either LFT , BTR, or MSY to RDU for the desired dates. Ryan and I typically look at flight prices for all three locations when traveling to Louisiana to see which is cheapest. The cheapest flight from Lafayette is typically either American or Delta with a layover in Charlotte or Atlanta, respectively.
Travel Note
Driving to Durham from Louisiana can vary based on traffic, but will typically take about 15-16 hours from Lafayette. Ryan and I typically do this drive in one day, but a great midpoint to stop is right before Atlanta. Wake up early the next morning to try and avoid Atlanta traffic!
Travel Note
Driving to Durham from NY can vary significantly depending on traffic, anywhere from 9 to 12 hours. It's very rare to not hit any traffic, but your best chance would be to leave NY very early (between 5 and 6 AM).
