Can I make a 1 hour connection at CEB on an international flight?
1 hour is below the 75-minute international MCT at Cotabato. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are connected by a covered walkway and roadway that can be walked in about 10-15 minutes or covered by a shuttle during peak periods. Passengers connecting from an international arrival to any domestic flight must clear Philippine immigration and customs, collect checked bags, and re-check in at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2's domestic counters — there is no airside transfer desk for this combination.

What happens if I miss my connection at CEB?
If you miss a connection, head to your airline's transfer or ticketing counter in the terminal you land in — Cebu Pacific and PAL both maintain rebooking desks in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 — as there is no single integrated transfer service across carriers.
