You can do it through different channels:\n<ul>\n \t<li>A travel agency<\/li>\n \t<li>The airline\u2019s website or office<\/li>\n \t<li>Generic flight booking websites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTo book a flight, you will need:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Destination<\/strong>: You may have a direct flight or a connecting one with one or more stops.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Travel dates<\/strong><\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Personal details and documents<\/strong> of the travelers<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Payment method<\/strong>: When booking, the ticket is usually paid for, so make sure you have your payment details ready.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAt this stage, you can also request any special assistance you may need (e.g., a wheelchair).\n<h3><strong>Packing Your Luggage<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou\u2019ve booked your flight, and the departure date is approaching! Here are some key things to consider when packing:\n\nThere are two types of luggage you can travel with:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Carry-on luggage<\/strong>: This is the luggage you can take with you on the plane. Each airline has restrictions regarding size and weight, so check with your airline before traveling.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Checked luggage<\/strong>: This is stored in the aircraft\u2019s cargo hold and must be handed over at check-in. Airlines have size and weight restrictions, so make sure to check the guidelines in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Necessary Documentation<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe required documents vary for adults and minors, and some countries may require additional documentation. Check with your airline in advance.\n<h4><strong>For travelers over 18 years old:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>National ID card<\/strong> (for Mercosur countries)<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Passport<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>For travelers under 18 years old:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Passport<\/strong><\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Travel authorization<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Other documents that some countries may require:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Visa<\/strong><\/li>\n \t<li><strong>ESTA (for U.S. travel)<\/strong><\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Vaccination certificates<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFor more information, visit the <strong>National Immigration Directorate<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/migracion.minterior.gub.uy\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">migracion.minterior.gub.uy<\/a>\n<h3><strong>Checking in Online<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany airlines allow online check-in <strong>24 to 48 hours before departure<\/strong>. This lets you register for the flight before arriving at the airport. Airlines typically send an email with a link to complete the process.\n\nOnce you check in, you will receive or be able to download a <strong>boarding pass<\/strong>, which contains your flight details. You will need to present this at the airport. Your boarding pass will include a QR code that you must scan at control points. We recommend saving it on your phone or printing it.\n\nIf you can\u2019t check in online, you can do it at the airport.\n<h2><strong>At the Airport<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe day has arrived, and you are ready to travel. It\u2019s time to go to the airport!\n\nWhen taking a flight, go to the <strong>Departures<\/strong> area. We recommend arriving <strong>3 hours before your flight<\/strong> to complete all procedures calmly.\n\nApart from checking the departure time, always confirm with the airline for any changes. You can find updated flight information on our website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeropuertodecarrasco.com.uy\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">www.aeropuertodecarrasco.com.uy<\/a>, by contacting Customer Service at <strong>(+598) 2604 0272<\/strong>, or calling <strong>(+598) 2604 0329 ext. 1637<\/strong>.\n\nIf you arrive by car, you can <strong>park in our parking lot<\/strong>. Rates are available on our website. If someone is dropping you off, they have a <strong>10-minute tolerance<\/strong> to leave without paying.\n<h3><strong>Checking in at the Airport<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo check in, you need:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Your travel document<\/strong> (passport or ID)<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Checked luggage<\/strong> (if applicable)<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Additional required documents<\/strong> (visa, travel permits, vaccination certificates, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf you <strong>haven\u2019t checked in online<\/strong>, go to your airline\u2019s <strong>check-in counter<\/strong>. You can find the correct counter on the airport\u2019s screens or ask at the Information Desk.\n\nOnce it\u2019s your turn, present your documents and checked luggage. Make sure your luggage complies with the airline\u2019s size and weight limits. If it exceeds the allowed weight, you may need to pay an <strong>excess baggage fee<\/strong> or remove items.\n<h3><strong>Boarding<\/strong><\/h3>\nAt the <strong>boarding area<\/strong>, you can wait comfortably for your flight. Check the screens to find your <strong>boarding gate<\/strong> and <strong>boarding time<\/strong>. Airlines generally call passengers to board <strong>40 minutes to 1 hour before departure<\/strong>.\n\nThis area offers <strong>free Wi-Fi<\/strong> and <strong>charging stations<\/strong> for your devices. You will also find a <strong>duty-free shop, retail stores, and dining options<\/strong>.\n<h2><strong>Contact Information<\/strong><\/h2>\nFind airline contact details here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeropuertodecarrasco.com.uy\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Airlines Directory<\/a>\n\n<strong>Carrasco International Airport<\/strong>\nWebsite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeropuertodecarrasco.com.uy\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">www.aeropuertodecarrasco.com.uy<\/a>\nPhone: <strong>(+598) 2604 0329<\/strong>\nWhatsApp: <strong>(+598) 91 114 061<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We want you to enjoy the experience from the very first moment.
