Best Time to Book Cheap Flights
Booking 6 to 10 weeks ahead generally offers good value for routes into Montevideo. The Southern Hemisphere summer, from December through March, is the peak beach season, so booking further ahead is recommended for travel during that period.
About Montevideo
Montevideo is Uruguay’s capital and largest city, known for its historic Ciudad Vieja (Old Town) district, filled with colonial and early 20th-century architecture. The city’s waterfront promenade, the Rambla, stretches for miles along the Río de la Plata, reflecting Montevideo’s laid-back, seaside South American character.
Things to Know When Flying Into Montevideo
There is no permanent direct flight between the US and Uruguay outside American Airlines’s seasonal Miami route.
The cleanest single-stop connections from North America run through Panama City (Copa), São Paulo (LATAM or American), or Bogotá (Avianca).
Because Buenos Aires has a much larger long-haul network, some travelers fly there first and continue to Montevideo by ferry or short flight.
The airport has a single passenger terminal, so allow two hours for domestic connections and three hours for international ones.
