Robin Long+FollowMeasles alert at RDU: What travelers need to knowA recent measles case passed through Raleigh-Durham International Airport’s Terminal 2 last week, raising concerns for anyone who was there early on Dec. 10. Even though there’s no ongoing risk at RDU, measles is extremely contagious and can linger in the air for hours. If you or your family were at Terminal 2 between 4 and 8 a.m. that day, keep an eye out for symptoms like high fever, cough, or rash through Jan. 1. This is a good reminder to double-check your MMR vaccine status—especially with cases on the rise nationwide. How do you feel about vaccination and travel safety right now? #News #RDU #Measles00Share
boothconnor+FollowRDU loses its only nonstop to BermudaIsland escapes from Raleigh just got trickier—BermudAir is ending its nonstop flights from RDU to Bermuda in January, barely seven months after launching the route. The airline says demand just wasn’t strong enough to keep it going, which is a real letdown for anyone who loved the idea of a quick, direct getaway. It’s a reminder of how tough it is for new airlines to keep niche international routes alive in places like the Triangle. Have you ever flown this route, or do you think there’s still a need for more direct international flights from RDU? #News #RDU #Bermuda00Share

Plus, the ticketing hall is getting a huge stretch, and new parking and traffic fixes are on the way. With construction starting soon and the first phase opening in 2029, this is set to make travel way easier for everyone in the Triangle.
