Monterey Regional Airport Departures

Alaska Airlines check-in options

There are several options for passing through the check-in procedures at MRY, and passengers are welcome to choose due to their preferences.

Ticket Counter Check-in

When travelers are traveling with a paper ticket or need some additional support with the check-in procedures on the date of departure, the customer service agents are ready to help passengers with an in-person check-in. Still, commuters should consider that checked baggage is only accepted within four hours of their scheduled departure.

Online check-in

By going through the check-in procedures online, commuters can skip the check-in line at the terminal and head directly for their gate.

However, it is necessary to print out a boarding pass one to twenty-four hours before the registered departure.

Kiosk check-in

Travelers can check-in by using the check-in kiosks that are conveniently positioned at all of the airports throughout the Alaska Airlines system.

Self-service kiosks can be found in the terminal’s lobby near the ticketing/bag drop-off area.

TSA

Transportation Security Administration is accountable for advancing policies that are intended to maintain passenger protection by implementing security standards that serve to minimize possible terrorist threats. Mainly concerned with air travel, the organization has its officers at Monterey Regional Airport, where TSA operators are in charge of controlling passengers at the security checkpoints. All the customers are obligated to go through screening as well as other TSA procedures that involve checking their luggage separately. The TSA process at MRY facility is similar to those at the majority of airports.

TSA PreCheck

Currently, MRY offers full TSA PreCheck facilities. Passengers with access to the TSA PreCheck will have TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass. PreCheck travelers line up in a separate line that can be found next to the regular one. PreCheck possessors are blended into the front part of the regular security line. Commuters are allowed to leave electronics and liquids in their bag. Shoes, belts, and light jackets are also permitted to be kept. Hence there is no need to use a bin. Commuters should place their bags right on the rollers. However, travelers should consider that TSAPreCheck travelers are still limited to the 3.4 ounces (100 ml) rule, and food may need additional screening.
