Hi there,
I might be going to Montevideo for the first time, hopefully in Business Class. My company has plans to use Taca via Panama City.
AA business class and nonstop to EZE sounds better to me.
What is the best/hassle free option to go from EZE to Montevideo?
Thank you so much.
Thank you,
I must be wrong, but I know they wanted JFK via Panama City to MVD, on mostly 737s.
I want to try the AA JFK-EZE and a short hop to MVD.
So, you don't recommend this option?
Thanks.

That´s CM with a connection at PTY. The thing is, PTY-MVD or EZE is almost an 8hr flight. On CM´s 737s their C class is EXACTLY like CO´s domestic F. In my opinion, an ordeal for 8hrs and not worth the money spent. You should definitely try to get on AA´s C.
Now, going to Buenos Aires from MVD you can take the ferry. There a few departures a day, although it takes at least 4hrs I believe or more. It´s comfortable enough and a nice experience if you have the time. I don´t think their are buses though. Other than that you could get flights on PU, or AR into AEP, which puts you smack into BUE´s downtown. I´m not sure AA has 5th freedom rights between MVD and EZE. I could be wrong.
But, getting into EZE means a 1 hr long ride into BUE downton or more if there are pickets on the highway. Definitely better to try and get into AEP.
BUE is absolutely worth visiting. It´s an exciting, vibrant, unique city where you´ll find many things to do.

Thanks everyone,
I will be fine once I get there, but I am really not looking forward to 2 x long 737-700 flights from JFK to MVD through PTY. That is what I am trying to come up with alternatives.
