'Tis The Day Before Thanksgiving (2013)
An annual tradition from RDU Cruising Altitude and the Marketing Communications staff at the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority.
‘Tis the day before Thanksgiving at Raleigh-Durham International Airport
“Travelers are arriving by the dozens,” we can easily report.
Cars are finding parking in our garage is simply quite a breeze
And, friends are dropping off loved ones at the curb with such ease.
Airport staff await your arrival just inside the doors with answers to your queries
We want you to relax before your journey, no need to arrive confused and weary!
Inside Terminal 1 and over at Terminal 2, music is sure to greet your ears
It’s our holiday music series, a tradition we’ve had, going back many years.
Lines are moving smoothly at the ticket counters and through security
You’re sure to find yourself on the concourse without a hint of scurry.
On your way to the gate, comfy recliners beckon you to rest-your-knees
Enjoy power outlets, free Wi-Fi, and all sorts of wonderful amenities
From fresh-made salads for the plane or a leisurely sit-down meal for eight
There are plenty of choices for dining that for the boarding call, you won’t be late.
And feel free to let The Shops of RDU tempt you to purchase for the holidays early
Just sign up for Thanks Again and earn rewards or miles to plan your next journey.
When the turkey’s gone, you’ve packed up and go to the airport to fly home back to RDU
Look for our white glove service and the Christmas Tubas to put you in the holiday mood.
And one more thing to offer! Should you from parking want to exit with some speed
Pay at the exit plaza with your credit card and a wait at the cashier’s booth you won’t need.
We really hope that you’ve enjoyed our short Thanksgiving rhyme.
Just remember to arrive about two hours ahead of departure time.
And one thing we almost forgot to mention to give you the best of trips

From all of us at Cruising Altitude and the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
