Cebu Airport Transfer (CEB)

Cebu Mactan International Airport (IATA: CEB) is the Philippines' second-busiest airport, handling international flights from across Asia alongside dense domestic Visayas connections. Terminal 2 serves all international arrivals. The airport is on Mactan Island — Cebu City requires a bridge crossing (Marcelo Fernan or Mactan-Mandaue), while island resorts are nearby. A LocalsRide driver meets you in the international arrivals hall with your name sign, confirmed before your flight landed.

Mactan beach resorts (Shangrila, Crimson, Bluewater Maribago): 10–20 minutes. Lapu-Lapu City (Mactan island): 10–20 minutes. Cebu City centre: 25–35 minutes. SM Seaside Cebu: 35–50 minutes.
