RALEIGH-DURHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, N.C. – Expect a lot of company if you’re flying out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport this weekend.

Peak travel hours will be between 4 and 7 a.m. Monday and weekend totals are expected to exceed more than 133,000 travelers.       

Airport officials recommend travelers arrive at least two hours early and check parking status on their website.
