[2025 Tashkent Airports] Travel Guide for Tashkent International Airport (Updated Feb)

#newyearnewtrip Flying with Uzbekistan Airways can be a unique experience. The national carrier of Uzbekistan offers a variety of domestic and international routes, primarily from its hub in Tashkent. Depending on the class of service and the route, the amenities can vary, but generally, passengers can expect: ✈️ Cabin Comfort: In general, the cabins are functional, with standard seating configurations. Business class on long-haul flights may offer better comfort and more space. ✈️ Service: Flight attendants are usually courteous, though service might not be as polished or consistent as with some other international airlines. ✈️ In-Flight Entertainment: On international flights, there may be personal screens with a selection of movies, TV shows, and music, though these systems might not be as modern as those on other international carriers. ✈️ Meals: The food onboard typically features a mix of regional Uzbek dishes and international options, especially on longer flights. ✈️ Baggage: Uzbekistan Airways offers generous baggage allowances, especially for business class and long-haul routes. ✈️ Airport Experience: The hub at Tashkent International Airport is relatively modern, though it can feel busy and sometimes lacks some of the conveniences of larger international airports. Passengers traveling through may find it a bit chaotic, especially when navigating security and check-in lines. #travel #holiday #airplane #uzbekistan

Was hoping to enjoy the city of Tashkent as I had a 16 hour layover, but couldn't leave the airport, so here's a picture of it still in a Christmasy atmosphere ##failedtrip #terminalmovie #stuck #solotravel #cominghome

It feelt a little strange yet interesting flying from Tashkent to Kazakhstan and then fly right to Incheon International Airport. #tashkent

【About visa-free conditions】 Only for flying in and out, visa-free for 10 days. . 【What to pay attention to when entering by plane】 I flew from Turkey to Tashkent, and it was customs directly after landing. They will ask for a return ticket and check the ticket number. Only after there is no problem will they stamp it through. It is recommended to print it out before traveling. I showed it to the customs on my mobile phone, and there was no problem. . 【About the SIM card】 I bought a SIM card that is common in many countries in China first (accurately speaking, it is a network card, which can only be used for internet access, but it is enough). If you only want to buy a card in Uzbekistan, you can buy a ucell 20G for 30+. You can buy it when you pass the customs and wait for your luggage. . 【Essential APP】 Taxi: Yandex go (Bolt, uber, grab can't be used) Map: Yandex map (enter the location to directly jump to Yandex go) Google map (quite versatile, common in many countries) Translation: Google translation, can translate English and Russian, can take pictures of the menu directly translate and voice dialogue translation . 【Currency exchange】 Maybe it was because my flight arrived late, I didn't see the currency exchange at the airport, and I didn't find an ATM. I directly tied the card to take a taxi to the city, and exchanged currency at the hotel. The exchange rate is about 1:1714 (1 RMB for 1714 sum, this is the exchange rate on February 16, 2024) Generally, it is exchanged with US dollars or euros. It is recommended to exchange some at the bank before traveling. . 【Notes on taking a taxi】 Yandex go can log in and receive verification codes with domestic SIM cards. The number is +86, and then you can enter your mobile phone number. I stayed at the Uzbekistan Hotel (in the city), and it costs about 9 RMB from the airport by ordinary car, and about 19 RMB by business car. The software is a fixed price, there is no price fluctuation, so you don't have to worry about being cheated. If the airport helps to book a car, it is about 50 yuan, it is recommended to take a taxi by yourself. . 【Hotel】 When checking out of the hotel, ask the front desk for a reservation paper, which may be checked when leaving the customs, but the customs did not ask us for it. . Because of the itinerary, I didn't spend much time playing in Uzbekistan. I have compiled some useful pre-departure strategies, I hope it will help you.
