The closest airport to Carmel is Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), just 15 minutes away from Carmel. It's a small airport, but services international and domestic routes on AlaskaAirlines, Allegiant Airlines, American Airlines, United Express and U.S. Airways. The closest major airport to Carmel is in San Jose, an hour's drive from Carmel. The next-closest major international airport to Carmel is the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in South San Francisco.
Small Monterey area. SFO is probably the largest
We drive from San Jose airport smaller airport, it's closer to me than SFO , don't know if big commercial flights land In Monterey. You will love the charm of the Inn... reserve you a convertible and drive down the coast toward Monterey if you choose SFO. It is very nice and if you stay at Tickled Pink you will want to drive south on the coast line through Big Sur... I will see if I can attach some photos.. click on my name it goes to my site for tons of pictures...there are red wood trees south through Big Sur and up in San Francisco.
In Monterey
Small airport is in Monterey California with just a few destinations nearest international airport is in San Jose Ca
San Francisco or Oakland airports are probably the closest. San Jose is also an option.
No major airports are close. We drove from LA and it was a pleasant drive
We flew into Oakland and drove the scenic route down through the redwoods. Was a nice start to our visit.
