Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s primary global hub, serving as a major transfer and long-haul gateway with a heavy presence of full-service carriers and Emirates at its core; it can be perceived as mid-to-premium in price compared with regional alternatives. Located roughly 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, travel options include the Dubai Metro (20–30 minutes), taxis (15–25 minutes) and airport shuttles, with typical fares ranging from modest metro tariffs to mid-range taxi fares. Pros: extensive amenities, many lounges and direct long-haul connections. Cons: can be busy and involve longer walks or transfers between terminals. Al Maktoum International (DWC), also known as Al Maktoum or Dubai World Central, positions itself as a growing, more budget-friendly and cargo-oriented alternative that is increasingly used for low-cost and charter services alongside some scheduled carriers. It lies about 35–50 km from central Dubai depending on route, with road transfers by taxi or bus taking roughly 40–60 minutes and costs typically lower than peak taxi fares but higher than metro prices (no direct metro link currently). Pros: less crowded, modern facilities and easier parking. Cons: longer transfer times to the city and fewer frequent international connections.

Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB) is the main international gateway for Cebu City and the wider Central Visayas region, typically serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. It functions as a major regional hub for domestic connections and growing international routes, 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 downtown Cebu; road transfers typically take 20–40 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, with fares usually in the modest local range, while shuttle and private transfers can be quicker but more costly. Pros: modern terminal facilities, many flight options and clear signage; cons: peak-hour traffic on the bridge to the city and occasional crowding during holidays.
