  "connection_tips": "Carrasco is a genuinely well-functioning international airport, so the main connection question is choosing the right ground option for Montevideo or the coast. Buses are perfectly viable for light travelers, but anyone with a lot of bags or a late arrival may prefer taxi, remise, or app-based pickup instead of adding a bus transfer to the day. If you are connecting onward by bus elsewhere in Uruguay, remember that the airport and Tres Cruces are separate transport nodes, so leave time between them rather than stacking the schedule too tightly.\n\nCurrent airport guidance confirms official taxi, bus, remise, rideshare, and rental-car options from the terminal, which means you do not need to improvise after landing. For departures and flight connections, treat Carrasco like a serious international airport rather than a quick regional hop. MVD is easy to use because it offers multiple solid options; the smooth trip comes from matching the airport transport choice to the actual Uruguay itinerary instead of defaulting to whatever is cheapest in the moment.\n\nWhat you do need is a clear decision about whether you are heading into Montevideo proper, Tres Cruces, Ciudad Vieja, or eastward toward Punta del Este and the coast, because the correct transport mode changes with that destination and with how much luggage you have. The terminal is efficient, but long-haul and regional international travel still merit real margin for check-in, security, and any VAT or baggage issues.",
