In Part 2 of this short series (and a very late post at that), I share more photos at Mactan Cebu’s International Airport Terminal 2.

MCIA is equipped with modern bag scan machines

These are now installed in most major airports in the country but the first time I saw these outside of NAIA was in MCIA.

The long corridor from the final security check to the pre-departure areas

The terminal is spacious as can be seen in this photo (and in the previous Part 1).

There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from inside the terminal.

There are generic ATMs around the terminal for the convenience of travelers who might need cash or do other transactions using these machines.

Information counter in the middle of shops and restaurants

Souvenir shops have products mainly from Cebu. Others are from other provinces or regions but mostly from the Visayas.

Another shot of the information counter with the souvenir shop across from it

Cafe at the terminal just before the gates

There’s a nice ramen restaurant at the terminal. I will write about this but in another blog.

Premium lounge sign showing airlines whose passengers may use the lounge. Beside is a sign showing terminal guidelines including the wearing of face masks and the urge to regularly sanitize and practice physical distancing. This was over a year ago so perhaps they have a different sign at the terminal now.

Tube waiting for the next aircraft to dock

The modern design restrooms are clean and spacious.

Boarding gates

I took this photo of the floors.

Drinking station near the toilets

A familiar shop is this WHSmith, which we used to see only in airports in other countries including Changi and HK.

A glance along the corridor shows most shops and restaurants open

Familiar brands like Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf have branches in the terminal

Burger King is beside this donut shop – the donuts are really good and I took home a box from this shop.

Another look at the tube while waiting for our plane to arrive.

Other aircraft at the airport includes private planes and military aircraft from the adjacent air base.

I already mentioned that this is a late post. We traveled to Cebu back in July 2022 and perhaps many things have changed since then. The terminal’s features though should have few changes aside from having more people there as restrictions due to COVID-19 have been lifted. I just wanted to post this as a form of closure for an unfinished series featuring MCIA T2 before I start posting on other airports.
