Services

There are ATMs and stores before entering the departure hall. Similarly, there are many of these services available inside as well including money exchange stalls.

Shopping and Dining

There are many shopping and dining options in Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Foodies will find options for fast food and casual dining, and there's even a bar at Terminal 2! As for shopping, apart from souvenir stores, there are also electronic and cosmetic shops in the airport.

Checking in

Here are the steps to a hassle-free check-in. Step 1. Make sure you have a valid ID or a passport (for international travel) and a copy of your ticket. Step 2. After going through the barricade you have to submit to an initial security check. All your baggage and carry-on luggage go through a scanning machine. Put everything that is metal away before you go through the metal detector. Step 3. Make your way to the counter and line up to be checked in so you can get your boarding pass, which will contain important details like your boarding gate number and seat number. Alternatively, you can check yourself in, as some airlines allow this on the website or in self-check-in kiosks. Step 4. Now you have to go through a second security check. Do the same procedure as the first security check. Make sure you don’t bring any liquids outside of the amount allowed as they will be confiscated. Step 5. The waiting lounge and gates have a lot of seating and places to charge your gadgets. Always make sure to check the screens around the lounge area so you don’t miss your flight! Step 6. Barring any delays, airlines allow boarding 15 minutes before the actual flight time. They will usually announce any delays or gate changes in advance. Make sure you have your boarding pass and a valid ID or passport.
