Coast to Desert, Without the Drive
At 68 miles, Monterey to San Carlos sits squarely in the Epic E1000's sweet spot — short enough that fractional ownership makes obvious sense, long enough that the time savings over driving are substantial. The flight clocks in at ~25 min, which means you're in San Francisco Bay Area before most people would have cleared the first hour of their road trip.FlyEpic owners departing Monterey Regional Airport skip everything that makes commercial or ground travel exhausting. There's no check-in window, no security line, no connection at a hub airport. It's ramp-side boarding, wheels up on your schedule, and a cabin wide enough for five passengers to work or simply decompress en route.For frequent travelers between Monterey / Carmel and San Francisco Bay Area, this isn't a luxury — it's a time arbitrage that pays for itself. The Epic E1000's flat hourly ownership rate makes it easy to calculate: your time has a value, and ~25 min versus hours on the ground isn't a close comparison.
