Tips for 45 min Connections
Because MVD has a single terminal, focus your time on immigration and security lines rather than terminal transfers.
If connecting from an international arrival to a domestic or onward international flight, budget extra time for immigration and customs re-entry into the sterile area.
Flight frequencies to/from Montevideo are relatively low, so a missed connection can mean a long wait for the next flight.
Duty-free and dining options are limited, so don't plan on a long layover for entertainment—use the time to simply relax.
Signage is in Spanish and English and the airport is easy to navigate, so stress from wayfinding is minimal.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are located within one compact terminal building, so passengers simply walk between gates on the same level. There are no interterminal trains or buses required. International arrivals passing through immigration and customs before a domestic connection will need to re-clear security to reach the gate area.
