Located just 3.5 miles southeast of downtown Monterey, MRY is an entryway to the picturesque locales of Carmel and Big Sur. With a compact structure, passengers find the entire check-in and security process refreshingly swift, often taking less than 10 minutes during off-peak hours.

Grab a meal at Woody’s or nearby Tarpy’s Roadhouse first. - _Money_: Skip short-term parking fees by using the curbside area, and budget more for baggage claim; it can take 20 minutes. - _Local_: The small gift shop stocks regional treasures like Monterey County honey and local chocolates. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
