Its exceptional service and cleanliness matter too. Also, while the atmosphere feels breezy, safety is taken seriously here. The security team is always on alert. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbqMZgoYvVQjpxPpv4qgLdgeQJSv1zA44KK1fvY5SKiHr/2f795df4-d59d-4eda-a2c5-b44c15e03f98.jpeg ^{Waiting Area} This airport understands that passengers need to sit. You see, their waiting area has plenty of it. No stress if your flight gets delayed. You can just chill comfortably until your ride arrives. Whoever designed this deserves an award! They clearly remembered that airports are full of actual humans, not just passengers. Family groups can sit together comfortably, share stories, and make memories instead of just enduring the wait. But there is a strict policy to follow. Entry beyond the waiting area is strictly limited to those who are departing on a flight. Anyone who has come to see their loved ones off should stay in the lobby. You need to follow for security and smooth movement within the area.

Looking at these displays kind of feels like taking a trip back in time.

Funny how a parking space can hold so many memories, isn’t it? | Place | Mactan Cebu International Airport | | ------------ | ------------ | | Atlas-Map | [//]:# (!steematlas 10.31675116 lat 123.97877211 long Mactan International Airport Lapu-Lapu City Cebu Philippines d3scr)| | Location | Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines| | Days Open | Monday to Sunday| | Opening and Closing Time | 24 hours open| |Google Map | https://maps.app.goo.gl/V597UUmbTZxDqJxm6 | https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNakWQSYsxBC4nDYX7KQLmiXb1Q9cffDwf869kK5pTgmq/png-clipart-black-dotted-dotted-dotted-line-dotted-line-dividing-line__1_-removebg-preview.png
