Departing from Auckland

Auckland International Airport (AKL) is the busiest airport in New Zealand. It's just a short drive from the CBD, taking around 20 minutes in good traffic. For flights to the Philippines you should aim to be at the airport 3 hours before take off.

The airport has plenty of on-site parking, with different rates depending on your length of stay. This can be paid for as you pull up, but you can save money by booking online. Strata Club members can enjoy even lower prices.

In the International Terminal, you'll find all the check-in counters on the ground floor, on the far left-hand side of the building.

The majority of facilities are found upstairs, with a wide range of shops, restaurants and airport lounges to make use of while you wait. Complimentary Wi-Fi is also available.

Arriving in Cebu

Cebu Airport (CEB), known officially as Mactan-Cebu International Airport, is the 2nd busiest airport in the Philippines behind Manila.

The trip to Cebu city centre takes 15 to 20 minutes by road, or up to an hour by bus. Many hotels in Cebu will offer a pick-up service, but if you haven't booked this, you can hop in a MyBus vehicle that will take you to the city for less than $1.

Taxis are available from outside the terminal. You'll see both white and yellow taxis, with the white ones being cheaper without skimping on safety or time. Taxis at the airport are licensed and drivers may lose their jobs if there are any complaints, so the service on this route is very high.
