Hi all,
Below are pictures from my flight from Montevideo to Buenos Aires Aeroparque. On my last day in Uruguay, I went on a day trip, to Punta Del Este, which is 2 hours away from Montevideo and one of the most famous beach cities in South America and many famous Latin American celebrities have properties here.
After the day tour, the tour operator was kind enough to drop me off at the airport, as the airport is around 20 KM away from Montevideo's centre.

Conclusion

Montevideo is very nice and cool looking but very small and with not much to do. AR was nice but the leg room was very cramped and uncomfortable. The immigration line ups in AEP were so long in a small, cramped hall with no proper air circulation.

  • Thank you for sharing this great report with fantastic images of MVD airport, considered to be one of the most beautiful ones in Latin America.

    Punta del Este reminds me of a cross between Tel Aviv and Miami in a smaller scale.

    • Thanks very much Jetsetpanda, you are right Punta Del Este can look like Mia and TLV. Although it's so small, it was nice but since it was the fall season, it was not crowded, I think the only busy months are the 3 summer months in this city.

    • Aw interesting, Thanks for letting me know. But the weather is very pleasant in fall compared to North American standards and if it was in North America with such a weather it'll be packed all year round lol :D

    • Thanks so much Kevin, I'm glad you liked the pictures. I have a Sony point and shoot camera WX100- but after I take pictures, I edit every single one of them in the photo edit software that is available free for download online and its called Irfan View, by playing with the image settings in that software I can make the night shots look better.

  • Hi, the plane is 737-700

  • Thanks for sharing this beautiful report !

    Good job on this flight.

    But the legroom is extremely short !...

  • Thanks for this Flight Report.

    Montevideo looks like a very nice airport and I like the architecture.

    I was not impressed by Aerolineas Argentinas on my short trip from AEP to IGR but your experience seems to be better. I really like the livery of Aerolinas Argentinas , it's stunning.

    For the duration of the flight the snack box is ok and I guess your crew was good.

    Great pictures and bonus from Punta del Este !

    • Thanks very much Syteamchc. Yes, the snack box was great and crew were nice too. It's just that the seat pitch was a bit uncomfortable. I'm glad you liked the pictures.
