Time difference against Mexico City. In July, Montevideo runs 3 h ahead of the Mexican capital (UTC−3 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC−3, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.

What each code is for. The IATA code (MVD) is what the bag tag and the ticket use; the ICAO code (SUMU) is what flight plans, NOTAMs and flight trackers use. To follow the inbound aircraft that will become your flight, ICAO is the one that returns reliable results. And if MVD is not printed on your bag tag, the bag was not checked through to here — worth catching at the counter.

Airlines at MVD

Carriers in our catalogue operating routes to or from this airport, with type, alliance and economy baggage allowance:

Alliances present at MVD: SkyTeam. It matters for two concrete things: where miles credit, and what happens when something breaks. Within one alliance, rebooking onto another member is usually provided for; between carriers with no agreement it does not exist and depends on goodwill at the desk. If you buy two legs on operators from different alliances, treat them as two separate trips.

How this list is built. These are the airlines appearing in catalogued routes that touch MVD, not the airport’s full directory: a carrier that flies here but not on a pair we cover does not appear. The type — full-service or low-cost — and the allowance come from our own record for each carrier, and where the datum does not exist we say so rather than filling it with a plausible number.

Routes to Montevideo (MVD)

Our catalogue lists 1 routes into MVD, totalling 3 weekly departures and spanning 7,555 to 7,555 km. The busiest is MEX-MVD at ~3 flights a week; 0 of them carry a cached fare, spread across 1 audience profiles. Every row in this section comes from that same corridor catalogue, not from a live search.

What traffic MVD moves. By audience profile, the routes catalogued here split as: Latin American regional corridor (1). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.

Not all of these routes fly daily. The thinnest on the list is MEX-MVD at ~3 weekly departures — under one a day. On a pair like that a cancellation is not resolved in hours: the next seat may be two or three days out, which is why it is worth avoiding the last flight before a fixed commitment.

Why some rows have no fare. Of the 1 routes listed, 0 returned a price on the collector’s last pass and the rest show a dash. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.

Connection tips

MVD concentrates 3 catalogued weekly departures across 1 airlines, in the America/Montevideo zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco runs on the America/Montevideo time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at MVD is MEX-MVD (~3 flights a week). Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from Montevideo; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.
