        "answer": "To reach Mactan Cebu International Airport from downtown Cebu City, you can take a taxi, which is the most convenient and popular option, though ride‑share services like Grab are also widely used. Public buses and jeepneys serve the route but are slower and less comfortable, while driving yourself is possible with parking available at the airport. Taxis and ride‑shares offer door‑to‑door service in about 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and are moderately priced, while public transport is the cheapest but takes longer and may require transfers.",

Nearby hotels are available in Tacloban City, a short drive away, but there is no dedicated shuttle service from the airport to these hotels.

On connecting itineraries via Manila, the long legs commonly use Airbus A320-family or A321 aircraft, with occasional A330-300 service. The exact aircraft can vary by day and airline, but the Dash 8 is the mainstay for direct flights while the A320 series dominates the one-stop routings.",
