Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from MRY to Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO) last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a wonderful way to see the world, but it's not necessarily the smartest method to grab a bargain fare. It's better to book your Monterey Regional Airport to Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO) journey in advance rather than leaving it till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Save all that spontaneity for when you arrive at your destination!

Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) and Bob Hope Airport (BUR) are your options when taking off from Monterey to Los Angeles. Roughly 18 kilometers west of central Los Angeles, Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO) is the city's main hub.
