Currently, you exit the plane by stairs/ramp. There isn't a jet bridge, so know that you face the elements upon arrival. Exiting the airport is easy.

Monterey Regional Airport is a tiny place in the grand scheme of things. There are only 4 major…read moreairlines here - Alaska, American, Allegiant, and United. There are only a total of 5 gates here, no air ramps so you enter the aircraft the old fashioned way. What works here? Lots of things...the rental car lot is 30 feet away, we were the only ones going through TSA, and everyone working here is on a chill time line. Also they have a "bar" that you order drinks, pay for water, chips all in one. I would give this airport 5 starts however...the hot dogs looked like they were rolling around for a while. Also where is the imitation cheese pump to throw on that err...hot dog? Also no charging stations unless I walk from gate 3 to 5, I'm tired to walk that 50 feet. :)

I had a great flight from SAN to MRY. The service on board was excellent and the crew on the…read moreground was also very attentive as we got to the terminal. I definitely recommend Alaska Airlines to anyone looking to travel (mostly on the West Coast, where their network is most extensive). Their presence at Monterey Regional is not large, but still you can nonstop to San Diego and Seattle and from here, the rest of their network.

My daughter just boarded Alaska Air in Monterey. She was told that she had to check her carry on…read morebag because "the passengers in the last boarding group are not allowed to have a carry on"?!? This is a new level of discrimination of people who are not willing to pay extra to have a normal seat. Even if she wanted to pay extra all the "special" seats were taken and when she got to her seat she realized that majority of the seats are empty?!? It's a pure tragedy that Alaska air now bought the Hawaiian. I cannot imagine how much worse it can get and how horrible it would be when they ruin one of the best airlines. I, for sure, will do everything I can to avoid traveling with Alaska air. Shameful and disgraceful.

The gate agent would thank every single passenger during check in for flying with them, that was very nice and professional. The Embraer 175 was the usual 80 seater with a 2-2 configuration in the main cabin. There was a smooth take off and the beverage service was attentive. There were three snack choices in flight. Nice and pleasant experience.

The price is excellent for the area, with free WiFi and parking right outside the room. Check-in was quick and friendly, and our updated room was comfortable. The biggest surprise was how quiet it was. We barely heard anything from neighboring rooms, which made for a great night's sleep. It's also a convenient location for getting around the area. We'll definitely stay here again!

The Wine Flights team surpassed all expectations. On short notice, they crafted an unforgettable memory! We had a secluded, intimate, on-vineyard tasting and catered meal with panoramic views of the Carmel Valley hosted by the vineyard owner. The food and wine were impeccable, and so were our hosts. We received the highest level of service and loved getting to know the team. They showed us a part of Carmel that we'd never experienced and made us feel like family. We highly recommend this tour for food, wine and travel connoisseurs. The quality of experience rivals and surpasses those we've experienced in Napa and Sonoma. On a scale of 1-10, we give this tour a 15.
