Travel & Accommodations

Flight

RDU (Raleigh-Durham International Airport)

RDU is the closest airport to Chapel Hill and is about 25 minutes from both hotels. There is no real public transportation in the Triangle, so Uber or a cab are your best options. This is the airport we recommend!

Flight

CLT (Charlotte International Airport)

Charlotte is about 2 hours from Chapel Hill, but CLT can offer cheaper and more direct flight options if you're traveling with a group and planning to rent a car.
