Can I buy event tickets and flights together?

How far is RDU from downtown Fayetteville?
Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) is 58 miles (94 km) from downtown Fayetteville in a straight line. The drive is always longer than the straight line, and the roads near the venues are busiest at event times, so allow more than a map suggests.
