No Line at Security - Only 10 Flights per Day! Monterey Regional Airport (MRY)

It's an airport you've probably never heard of, but it supports 2,500+ jobs and generates $300M+ in economic activity for the region - welcome to Monterey Regional Airport (MRY) in Monterey, CA! If you're traveling through California's Central Coast - home to Big Sur, 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach and some of the most stunning natural beauty known to man (in my opinion) - this is probably going to be the most convenient option. Come with me as we explore why flying MRY might be the move even if it's cheaper to fly out of San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK) or San Jose (SJC).

Really interesting to see MRY again after more than 50 years! I attended the Defense Language Institute in Monterey in 1970. One day, during class, there was a major commotion and everyone was going outside and staring skyward. A brand new PanAm 747 freighter was making multiple passes into MRY, but never landed. We all thought the plane was trying to make an emergency landing. Well, we were almost right. It turned out that they were testing for a potential emergency landing. I never found out what the determination was, but even if a landing was possible, there was no chance of taking off again due to the short runway. It was an exciting event, for sure. Back then, MRY had turboprop service to San Francisco and Los Angeles. I don't know if there were any other destinations. I only flew between SF or LA and MRY.
