As of October 2024, travelers seeking direct flights from the US to Uruguay have faced a change in their options. American Airlines, which previously operated the only direct route, suspended its services until the start of the southern summer.
But here at Guru’Guay we wouldn’t necessarily have opted for a direct flight anyway. Read on to learn why.
At Guru’Guay, we love South American airlines LATAM, Avianca and Copa Airlines.
A flight with connections may only take a couple of hours longer than a direct flight (11.5 hours vs 9.5 hours for the direct flight).
While transfers in some airports can be a bit of a nightmare, especially when you don’t speak the language, changing planes in Santiago (LATAM), Panama City (Copa Airlines) and Lima (with Avianca) is a relative breeze.

American Airlines service restarts Montevideo to Miami on November 23, 2024 and ends again at the end of March 2025, date TBA.
So definitely think about supporting great South American airlines which fly every day all year round.

Our last visit in January from New Jersey to Montevideo included the flight out of Miami… needless to say it snowed here and we missed our flight – a total disaster. We were pleasantly surprised when we ended up flying to Panama on Copa and then MVD. Would recommend that flight. The airport was great, lots of duty free and the flight left on time.
