Flights with Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific are common alongside regional and international carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits on Mactan Island, about 8–10 km from Cebu City center; travel times are usually 20–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare, and slightly longer in peak traffic. Public transport options include buses and jeepneys for cheaper journeys, often taking 40–60 minutes. Pros: modern facilities, direct international connections and good transfer options. Cons: can be busy during holidays and road congestion can lengthen transfer times.

Fly direct from Cebu City to Iloilo for the quickest, most convenient way to get between these two vibrant Visayan hubs — less hassle, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your destination. While connecting routes can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves valuable time and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the small premium.

Iloilo’s Iloilo International Airport (ILO) serves as the region’s main gateway, typically handling a mix of domestic flights and some international connections to nearby Asian hubs.

The airport sits about 19–24 km from Iloilo City center (around 30–45 minutes by car depending on traffic). Options to get into town include metered taxis, airport shuttle vans, and private transfers; expect shuttle or taxi rides to cost roughly PHP 300–700. Pros: modern, compact terminal and easy customs processing for short connections. Cons: limited late-night services and fewer long-haul options compared with larger Philippine hubs.
