RDU makes flying into NC quick and easy. Southwest Airlines has a hub and is a great option.
Just note that it is about an hour drive from RDU to Fayetteville (pretty much a straight shot south on I95).

Amtrak
RDU
Fayetteville has a pretty good little airport right in town (thanks to the military) and you may find that getting a direct flight is just as cheap (and a lot faster) than dealing with rental cars and long drives from RDU.
Our Uber and Lyft services are pretty good here as well.

We also have an Amtrak right in the Historic Downtown! The hours might be a little wonky, but you can get some good rates if you're not coming from all the way across the country - or maybe you want to make a trip out of it!
