Flying BACK to RDU on Nov 10
Will be interesting to see the new layout, and see how it all plays out.
If I can find my gate LOL

Hmmm...I have to be in GSO on Nov 7-9, and fares out of MSP are a lot better to RDU than GSO or CLT, so I'm strongly considering this. Might need to book that RDU flight after all and use the new facilities on the first day (would be the second time this year I'd use a new lounge on the day it opened...might even have to SDC to be the first one in the lounge...)

Will be great in RDU to not have to smell the A&W restaurant anymore while sitting at the gate.

Thank goodness! I can't wait to head back to school in January (studying in Madrid this fall) and experience the beautiful new terminal. The old terminal is quite outdated. I remember spending 12 hours one fall break waiting for my delayed US flight to Philly. No fun.

Last time I was at the CRC I think the lady said that they wouldn't be opening until 2 weeks or so after the move. However, that could be in reference to the terminal opening on 10/26 and DL moving on 11/9. She did give me a brief description of the CRC and it sounds nice. It will even have 2 bathrooms!! 
I'm heading there in a few hours, I'll have to see if I can get some scoop!

Update
In RDU CRC currently and just talked to the 2 attendants at the desk and they said that the November 9th is a "tenative" date.
One of the ladies said she had taken a tour of the facility and that it was going to be beautiful. Flatscreen monitors, a quiet area, and about 1500 more sq ft.
They were both very excited. One of the ladies said that this used to be the Piedmont lounge!

Woo hoo! I'm very much looking forward to seeing the new terminal, and I'll be doing quite a bit of travel in November. Goodbye, cramped DL Connection gate area!

ive got lots of pics
the General contractor sent me about 40 pics of the terminal yesterday. My company manufactured the roof. the new terminal at SAC will be almost identical and will begin next july.
if anyone wants to see, PM me an email. I only have them on a PDF, so there's no link.

... will soon be gone for good. After DL has moved to T2, A15/A16 in T1 will be rebuilt as an expanded TSA clearance area. So even if you happen to be in that terminal on another airline, you won't recognize A15/A16. No word on what will become of the old Crown Room.

RDU will have a public tour of T2 on Oct 11, 1000-1600. Will try to drop by and see where the Crown Room will be.
