One-stop itineraries typically take 11 to 14 hours eastbound and slightly longer westbound, with common connections in Panama City, Lima, or São Paulo."}, "q2": {"question": "Are there direct flights from Miami to Uruguay?", "answer": "No. There are currently no non-stop flights from Miami to Uruguay.

Booking about 10 to 13 weeks ahead typically yields the best fares, while Thursdays tend to be the cheapest departure day and Saturdays the most expensive. Early morning or evening flights often cost less, and you'll generally pay more during peak summer (December, July) and around major holidays.", "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row. The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."}, "q5": {"question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Miami to Uruguay?", "answer": "For flights from Miami to Uruguay, the optimal booking window is about 10 to 13 weeks before departure, when fares average around $864.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history.

Punta del Este airport serves the beach resort area directly but has fewer U.S. flights. There are no passenger trains for onward travel."}, "q12": {"question": "When is the best time of year to visit Uruguay?", "answer": "For Uruguay, visit in spring (October to November) or autumn (March to April) for pleasant weather, fewer tourists and lower prices than the busy and expensive summer months of December through February."}, "q13": {"question": "How do I get to Miami Intl Airport from the city center?", "answer": "From downtown Miami, the Metrorail Orange Line connects to Miami International Airport via the free MIA Mover people mover from the Miami Intermodal Center, with trains running frequently and a fare of $2.25 each way. Ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door‑to‑terminal convenience and are the fastest options, typically taking 15‑25 minutes depending on traffic. Driving and parking at the airport is also possible, with various garages and lots available, but traffic can be heavy during peak hours.
