<!-- Introductory paragraph goes here -->
The Monterey Peninsula Airport is the commercial airport serving Monterey County, though many passengers use [[Mineta San José International Airport (SJC/KSJC)|San Jose]] for lower airfares.  The dominant carrier is SkyWest Airlines, which operates service as United Express and Delta Connection.  The airport also sees daily service from American Eagle and Mes Airlines/America West Express, and occasionally Allegiant Air will operate a casino charter trip to [[Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport (IFP/KIFP)|Laughlin, Nevada]].
 
The airport has two runways, 10R/28L and 10L/28R.  All airliners and most business jets will use 10R/28L.  The airport sometimes operates with mixed operations, with arrivals on 10R and departures on 28L.

===Terminal Observation Deck===
 
The airport provides an observation deck in the terminal area.  It is located on the roof of the baggage claim area, and can be reached through on the second floor of the terminal building.  It is outdoor, though there is a glass partition between between you and the ramp area.  From this area, you will be facing directly the American Eagle parking area, with America West Express to your left and SkyWest to your right.

===Upper Short Term Parking Lot===
 
The short term parking lot east of the terminal (called the Upper Lot) provides an excellent view of the runways and ramp areas.  It overlooks the SkyWest ramp, so occasonally parked aircraft or equipment can get in your way.  Trees and lightpoles are also potential obstructions.  However, unlike the observation deck, there is no glass, only a waist-high fence.  Because this parking lot is elevated above the ramp area, you are also above the perimeter fence.  Cost to park here is $1.00 per half hour, up to $15.00 per 24 hours.
