Raleigh-Durham Airport Lounges
Raleigh–Durham International Airport · Raleigh/Durham, United States
Raleigh-Durham International (RDU) keeps its lounges simple: three airline clubs, all clustered around the Terminal 2 concourses. Delta runs a Sky Club, United operates a United Club and American Airlines has an Admirals Club. Each is a branded airline lounge, so access here runs on alliance status or a premium-cabin ticket rather than walk-in day passes.

United Club
The United Club at RDU opened in August 2019 and was the first new location United added to its club network in 15 years. It carries the fullest spread of the three — complimentary hot and cold buffets plus a full bar — making it the most complete airline lounge at Raleigh-Durham for Star Alliance Gold members and United business-cabin flyers.
United Club
If you're flying United or another Star Alliance carrier, the United Club is your lounge at RDU, sitting on the mezzanine across from Gates D1 and D3. Star Alliance Gold status or a United business-class ticket gets you in.
Delta Sky Club
The Delta Sky Club, renovated and expanded in late 2016, is the SkyTeam option at RDU, airside on the second level across from Gate C3. It serves a complimentary cold buffet and full bar to SkyTeam Elite Plus members and Delta premium-cabin passengers.

Terminal 2
All three of Raleigh-Durham's lounges sit in Terminal 2, which handles Delta, United, American and most of RDU's mainline traffic across Concourses C and D. Each lounge is an airline-branded club placed airside after security, near its carrier's gates: the Delta Sky Club on the second level across from Gate C3, the American Airlines Admirals Club opposite Gates C1 and C3, and the United Club on the mezzanine across from Gates D1 and D3.

Como entrar nas salas VIP em RDU.
Raleigh-Durham's three lounges are all airline-branded clubs, so access here is driven by who you fly and your frequent-flyer tier rather than a lounge membership card or a walk-in day pass. Each of the three major US alliances is represented once: Delta for SkyTeam, United for Star Alliance and American for oneworld. Match your lounge to your airline and check your status or cabin before you fly.
Airline & alliance lounges
Each RDU lounge belongs to one alliance: the Delta Sky Club for SkyTeam Elite Plus, the United Club for Star Alliance Gold, and the American Airlines Admirals Club for oneworld Sapphire. Eligible status on the matching alliance gets you into that lounge.
SkyTeam
Star Alliance
oneworldBusiness & First class ticket
A business- or first-class ticket on Delta, United or American (or an alliance partner) admits you to that carrier's RDU lounge — the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Raleigh-Durham, with no membership needed.
Delta
United
American AirlinesAirline club membership
Paid annual memberships in each airline's club program — Delta Sky Club membership, United Club membership and the Admirals Club — also grant entry at RDU, subject to each program's current terms and any restrictions on the fare you're flying.

Match the lounge to your airline
- —RDU has no independent or pay-in lounges — each of the three clubs is tied to one airline, so your carrier decides your lounge.
- —Delta flyers use the Sky Club, United and Star Alliance flyers the United Club, and American and oneworld flyers the Admirals Club.
- —If you're not flying one of these three carriers in a premium cabin or with status, there's no lounge to buy your way into at RDU.
Everything is in Terminal 2
- —All three lounges are airside in Terminal 2 — there's no lounge in Terminal 1, which handles a smaller set of carriers.
- —The Delta Sky Club and Admirals Club sit on the C-gates side; the United Club is by the D gates on the mezzanine.
- —Clear Terminal 2 security first — every RDU lounge is past the checkpoint.
Mind the operating hours
- —RDU's lounges keep early-to-evening hours rather than running 24/7 — the Delta Sky Club, for example, opens around 04:00 and closes in the evening.
- —Late-night departures may land outside lounge hours, so check the day's closing time before you count on a visit.
- —Early-morning flyers are well covered: all three clubs open before the first banks of departures.
Know what's complimentary
- —The Delta Sky Club and United Club include complimentary buffets and a bar with house wine, beer and liquor.
- —The United Club adds a complimentary hot buffet, the fullest food offering of the three.
- —At the Admirals Club, snacks and house drinks are complimentary while some food and premium drinks are sold.
