It’s weird that you’d use a post-Covid airport list when it’s obvious that it wasn’t like that less than a year ago. In particular the London connection was and is a big deal stretching back decades. So the Cancun jab seems disingenuous. But there is a hint of truth there, as we’d all like a more robust airport destination offerings, and the RDU expansion is certainly being done with an eye towards that.

I definitely didn't mean that. I should have said currently 1 international destination; I believe I fixed that in my follow up post. But, even the pre-covid situation wasn't that great, with 5 (and 2 being to Canada and 1 to Cancun again). And, as I keep repeating myself -- I hope the growth will help making it better I think there is enough interest and people to make it happen. I'm not asking what Atlanta has, for example, cool stuff like direct flights to Istanbul or Johannesburg. But some more destinations would be great.

i mean i think its well understand that feature isnt a characteristic of atlanta being atlanta but that airport being a logistical hub for numerous airlines to converge for international travel. It wouldnt make sense at all for airlanes to do that in both atlanta and raleigh.
i mean im sure more good stuff will happen but that dynamic needs to be taken into consideration
Right this second you shouldn't be flying anywhere internationally. If you want to bump that out to the fall on Google Flights you will see all those destinations I mentioned.
I just don't see Raleigh being a major international hub anytime soon apart from Air Canada and maybe 1 or 2 routes each airline (JetBlue/Southwest to the Caribbean's, maybe a route here and there for Delta/American).
Delta is the biggest player at RDU and RDU is just a focus city for them, not a hub so the best you can hope for is just frequent flights to one of their hubs (Atlanta/Detroit/Minneapolis/New York) that do have tons of international flights.
I wonder what the total number off "mixed use buildings" is in the Triangle.
