Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB) serves as the primary gateway for Cebu City and the Central Visayas region, functioning as a major international and domestic hub rather than a budget-only field. It typically handles full-service carriers alongside regional and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from competitive to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits on Mactan Island about 10–15 km from downtown Cebu—travel times are commonly 20–40 minutes by taxi or ride-share, and 30–60 minutes by public bus or shuttle depending on traffic; taxi fares and ride-share trips are usually affordable while airport shuttles and buses offer cheaper options. Pros: modern terminals, many flight choices, and good connectivity to resorts and ferries. Cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional delays due to limited road access and island bridging.

Rail/metro connections are expanding, which can offer faster, cheaper options. Pros: modern facilities, lots of lounges and connections; cons: longer transfer times to some central neighborhoods and occasional heavy traffic to the airport.
