About flights to Uruguay
Overview
Uruguay is one of South America's quiet gems — a small, easy-going country of Atlantic beaches, colonial towns and rolling cattle country, with a laid-back capital in Montevideo. It pairs naturally with a trip to neighbouring Argentina, and for UK travellers Montevideo is the main gateway. Comparing fares in one place makes finding the right flight straightforward.
Best time to fly to Uruguay
Uruguay's seasons are the reverse of ours. Its summer, from December to February, is warm and lively along the coast at resorts like Punta del Este, though also the busiest and priciest. The shoulder months of spring (October–November) and autumn (March–April) are pleasant and generally better value. The price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.
Main gateway cities & airports
The main gateway is Montevideo Carrasco (MVD), a modern, easy-to-use airport that handles nearly all international flights. Seasonal services also reach Punta del Este (PDP), the country's best-known beach resort. Many travellers also arrive by ferry across the River Plate from Buenos Aires.
Airlines and routes
There are no direct flights from the UK to Uruguay, so journeys involve one or more connections. Common routings go via a European hub such as Madrid (with Iberia) or Paris (with Air France), often continuing on a South American carrier such as Latam, frequently with a change in São Paulo or Buenos Aires. Total journey times from London are typically around 16–20 hours depending on the connections. Comparing carriers for your exact dates is the surest way to secure the best value.
Popular places to visit in Uruguay
- Montevideo: a relaxed capital with a long riverside promenade and old town
- Colonia del Sacramento: a charming, cobbled UNESCO colonial town
- Punta del Este: Uruguay's glamorous Atlantic beach resort
- José Ignacio: a chic, low-key coastal village of dunes and lighthouses

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Uruguay
- Book two to four months ahead for this long-haul route.
- Travel in the shoulder seasons and avoid the December–February peak.
- Consider flying to Buenos Aires and continuing by ferry — sometimes cheaper.
- Be flexible with dates; midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days
- Currency: the Uruguayan peso (UYU)
- When to book: check the price charts on this page for the cheapest days
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Uruguay
Your allowance to Uruguay depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
