When is the best time to fly to Raleigh?

To make the most of the outdoors, book flights to Raleigh in the late spring and early summer, when the sun is out, the weather is warm, and rain showers are few and far between.

Peak Season:

The best time to visit Raleigh is in the late spring and early summer. Especially if you’re packing the clubs on your flight, the warm weather will certainly bring a smile to your face as you venture on to the golf course. During early summer, the warm, dry weather is perfect for morning walks, and outdoor shopping, and night time brings balmy conditions and breezy sunsets.

Off-peak Season:

Winter here is mild, and although it’s not treacherous or too cold, less travellers visit Raleigh during the cooler season because of the strain on outdoor activities. If you’re not a golfer though, or plan on being in town for business or culture, then you’ll be able to find deals on hotels or cheap flights to Raleigh during the off-season.

Which day is cheapest to fly to Raleigh?

Tuesday is currently, on average, the cheapest day to fly to Raleigh. Flying on Friday will result in higher flight prices.
