Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB)

Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB) is the second busiest aviation hub in the Philippines, operating from two distinct terminals: Terminal 1 for domestic flights and the award-winning, resort-inspired Terminal 2 for international services. If your connection involves an international-to-domestic transfer, your journey begins in Terminal 2. After clearing immigration, you must collect your checked luggage—even if it is tagged to your final destination—to undergo mandatory customs inspection. Once cleared, you can utilize the 'Cebu Connect' transfer desk to re-check your bags for your domestic leg.

To move between terminals, the most efficient method is the covered walkway, a 5 to 10-minute stroll that is well-marked and easy to navigate with a luggage trolley. Alternatively, a complimentary 'Premium Airport Bus' shuttle runs every 15 to 30 minutes between the arrival areas of both terminals. For those connecting from a domestic flight in Terminal 1 to an international departure in Terminal 2, ensure you allow a minimum buffer of 3 hours. This accounts for the time needed to exit the domestic arrivals area, transit to Terminal 2, and clear the international check-in and security processes.

Travelers with longer layovers can enjoy world-class amenities in both buildings, including the Plaza Premium and Mabuhay lounges, diverse dining options ranging from local Cebuano delicacies to international chains like Jollibee, and extensive duty-free shopping. Before your international departure, ensure you have completed the 'eTravel' registration online to generate your mandatory QR code for immigration. Both terminals provide reliable free Wi-Fi and numerous charging stations, making it easy to stay connected while transiting through this premier island gateway.
