When transiting through Singapore (SIN) on the way to or from Cebu, eligible passengers may be invited to use The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and membership tier.

Melbourne operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) from around April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11) from early October to early April. Cebu follows Philippine Time all year (UTC+8). This means Cebu is 2 hours behind Melbourne during AEST, and 3 hours behind during AEDT.

We recommend arriving at Melbourne Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for flights to Cebu via Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and any outbound formalities, as well as a relaxed visit to shops or lounges before boarding.

Visa and entry requirements for Cebu depend on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and the length of your stay. As requirements can change, please check the latest information with the relevant embassy or consulate, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity before you travel.

On arrival at Mactan-Cebu International Airport, you will proceed through immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Once in the arrivals hall, you will find options for ground transport, as well as counters for local services. It is a good idea to confirm onward transport and connectivity options in advance and check locally for the latest guidance.
