This is a very late post as I traveled to Cagayan de Oro months ago. I'm posting it here for reference.
The main driveway at the terminal is reserved for VIPs'. I thought this practice in many airports in the country though claimed to be security-related is a waste of space and gives the impression that passengers are not the priority in these terminals.
Another look at the airport's spacious but underutilized driveways.
Check-in baggage terminal at the airport - you can now get your luggage tags for items you're checking-in and tag your bags or boxes yourself. This is supposed to reduce the transaction times at the check-in counters but I wonder if someone's measuring or evaluating the process.
Check-in counters for Cebu Pacific - they have 4 counters.
Air Asia only had two counters at the airport. Meanwhile PAL had the more spacious area among the three airlines.
The design is similar to Iloilo's and Bacolod-Silay's where passengers ascend to the departure level after checking in. There are a couple of shops under the stairs and escalator for last minute pasalubong purchases.
PAL had the most check-in counters at 5. They had a separate counter for Mabuhay Class passengers that they also use for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
A look back at the check-in lobby
Here's what it looks like as we ascend to the departure level.
After the final security check and entering the pre-departure lounge, you can proceed to the food court where you have a choice between Seattle's Best Coffee and Kenny Rogers.
Shops offer refreshments, snacks and pasalubong items.
The passenger lounge appears to be spacious but can become crowded when there are flight delays.
View of the various vehicles used in providing support services to the aircraft at the apron.
The view of our aircraft as we approach the stairs to the aft of the plane. Passengers seated from the middle to the rear of the plane are instructed to board the plane from the rear. Those seated from the front rows to the middle are instructed to board via the bridge or tube shown in the photo.
Passengers boarding
I will be posting more photos of airports soon as I am traveling to Cebu and Kuala Lumpur in the next few weeks. It will be my first time to travel to KL (can you believe that) though it's not my first time to Malaysia so that trip is something I look forward to and one that will definitely yield a lot of photos.
