<p>Hello, Thanksgiving break starts on
Tuesday, November 23 @ 10:30 p.m. Does it start after 10:30 to take into account the late classes? If I am buying an airplane ticket and my class ends at 4 on tuesdays can I schedule a flight for ~7pm or is there some event that requires me to stay until 10:30</p>
<p>There’s no reason to stay until that late. Schedule a flight for a time you think you can make. The school is about 20-30 minutes from RDU airport. Since it’s thanksgiving, the place might be crowded, so be sure to take that into account.</p>
<p>Buy your plane ticket for at least 2 hours after your last class ends. If you live on east and your last class is on west, then give yourself an extra thirty minutes on top of that.</p>

<p>Is there some sort of shuttle/taxi system that can take you to RDU easily?</p>
<p>Yes there is. An email is always sent out to the student body about it a couple weeks before break. I think space can be somewhat limited but there will be plenty of people driving their cars to RDU, no need to stress too much about not having a ride.</p>
<p>Yes, you can call any of the local taxi companies and reserve a ride (Charlene’s, On Time, etc). Duke also usually provide shuttles during thanksgiving to and from the airport. As mentioned above, keep your eyes peeled for an email and reverse your spot online. Also, plenty of people will be driving there too.</p>
