New CEB international terminal 2 inauguration will be held today. It looks very nice in the press release pictures.

No numbers how many international passengers from those numbers. International arrivals percentage are;

Korean 40%

Japanese 15%

Chinese 8%

American 6%

Foreigener Filipino 10%

Other mixed remainder 

There are several news organizations posting this information today if you want more information. I can’t link with my phone.

Why?  

You hold your finger on the link and depending on your phone it will show a copy icon or in my case a clipboard. When on the forum hold down your finger in the editor and the word "paste" appears so tap it and Bob's your uncle.

I just flew out of the new terminal last week. Its nice and new but still not 100% finished yet. The walk from the curbside drop off over the bridge walkway to the main building will be a chore on a windy rainy day!!

Yeah I also flew out of there this week. 

The building is nice  - a pity there's still a few procedures they need to iron out.

Your loved ones/aprtners cannot step inside the door to see you off, if only you are departing. They say goodbye OUTSIDE in the heat. No coming inside and having a last drink or meal at a cafe like the old T1.  I can't think of another modern international airport with that restriction.

Immigration ......hmmmmm, be prepared for a very long wait to get through. 2.5 hours before a flight is now too short if this week was anything to go by. My plane left 30 minutes late after waiting for stragglers from the checkin  and immigration processnig queues.

No idea what shops and food they have at the new terminal - it was a blur as I ran to the gate

GBT62, thank you for the heads up about that departure wait you experienced. 

Interesting to know if it’s a chronic issue or not.

So they mopped up the flooding in time for the official opening.
