 | | Flying into Mactan-Cebu International Airport – the Queen City of the South | | | To accommodate for the increase in flights to Cebu there are plans to expand the existing terminal building and eventually create an entirely new passenger terminal. International flights to Mactan-Cebu International Airport come from major destinations throughout Asia and domestic air traffic reaches across to most major airports in the Philippines. Legally speaking you must have a current visa or an ongoing flight ticket before you fly into the Philippines, with carriers not allowing you to board without one.
Once you arrive in Cebu, passport control and baggage handling is straight forward and reasonably fast. To reach the city centre of Cebu you will need to hire a taxi for the drive, which should take half an hour or less. Many hotels will supply a shuttle service, sometimes for a fee, if you request the convenience before arriving at Mactan-Cebu International Airport. For those who prefer to self-drive while in the Philippines, car rental companies also have offices within the terminal building. | | | |  | | |
