The weather forecast for Seattle is rain, rain, and more rain. If you are tired of this dreary weather and looking to get off base for a while, consider a cross-country flight to Raleigh, North Carolina. On February 24, military personnel can get a discount airline ticket costing only $480.21 round trip. Sunshine and temperatures in the mid to upper 60s await.
Raleigh is located in the North Carolina Piedmont and is one corner of the famous Research Triangle, which also includes Durham and Chapel Hill. Not only is Raleigh the state capital, it is also one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., which means there is plenty of action. In sports alone, the NHL Carolina Hurricanes call Raleigh home, as do the North American Soccer League’s Carolina RailHawks FC.
Once discounted airline ticket holders arrive at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, they can take ground transportation to their hotel. The Raleigh Marriott City Center is located downtown within walking distance of many bars, restaurants, and attractions. There is need to drive because when they are not dining at the Posta Tuscan Grille onsite, guests can walk to The Oxford, The Mint, and Bloomsbury Bistro.
Visitors meandering around Raleigh will encounter many historic sites such as Boylan Heights, Oakwood Cemetery, and Haywood Hall House and Gardens. Raleigh has been dubbed the “Smithsonian of the South,” and with museums of science, art, and history, one can understand why. There is something for everyone, from the North Carolina Railroad Museum to the NCSU Insect Museum.
With a military discount, airline ticket prices are much more reasonable, making it possible to vacation on a tight budget.
