Footlongs and salads right inside MVD’s T1 departures
This Subway sits airside in Terminal T1, after security in the main departures hall, so you can grab a sandwich without backtracking toward check-in. It runs through typical bank hours and usually into the late evening, matching peak departures around the 18:00–22:00 bank, but hours can shift with the schedule. Expect standard counter service, order at the line, wait a few minutes, then pay at the end.
Menu is the global Subway lineup: 15 cm and 30 cm subs, wraps, and basic salads. You’ll find familiar options like Italian B.M.T., tuna, turkey and ham, plus a veggie option, all built on the usual white or whole wheat bread. Prices run higher than downtown Montevideo: a 30 cm combo with drink and chips tends to land around USD 10–12 equivalent at current rates, while a 15 cm sub on its own is closer to USD 5–6. Expect to pay in Uruguayan pesos, with card widely accepted.
Portion size is predictable, which helps if you have a 9–12 hour overnight flight and want something you can finish before boarding at a nearby T1 gate in the teens. Customization is the usual Subway script: pick your bread, cheese, then vegetables and sauces. If you’re watching time before a 45-minute boarding window, stick to cold sandwiches like turkey or ham; hot melts and toasted footlongs can slow the line when the oven backs up.
Seating is limited to a few shared tables near the counter, and they fill quickly during the 06:00–09:00 departure wave. Many people just carry their sandwich to general T1 gate seating around gates 6–10. One practical tip: if your flight leaves in under 30 minutes and the line is past 8–10 people, skip custom builds and grab whatever pre-made option is sitting in the fridge case to avoid cutting it close at boarding.
