Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport

Tashkent, Uzbekistan · Asia-Pacific

Tashkent is a workable two-hall Central Asian hub — Terminal 2 for international, Terminal 3 for domestic, 24/7 Priority Pass in Anjir at gates B5–B11 — but there is no metro, no Uber, and no published airside walk between halls.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Uzbekistan Airways international desks at TAS die at 60 minutes

Airline flight-check page: check-in starts 3 hours before departure. Tashkent is on the exception list where international check-in ends 1 hour before, not the generic 40-minute close-out. Domestic leftover dies at 30 minutes. Boarding leftover starts 1 hour and ends 20 minutes before departure.

Sit the airline page for a HY ticket. Other carriers publish their own TAS close-outs — do not copy the 40-minute international leftover onto a Tashkent HY departure. Arrive earlier if you still need a visa stamp, a SIM, or the CIP desk.

Terminal

International is Terminal 2 — domestic is Terminal 3

T2 is the live international hall. T3 opened 2011 for domestic. There is no published airside walk between them. The June 2026 unified-terminal promise is not a published opening this pass. Do not copy leftover blogs that send international arrivals into T3.

Wikipedia leftover that T2 and T3 sit on opposite sides of the runway is leftover-citation-needed. Connecting international↔domestic means landside and a second security. The 2030 new airport in Oʻrtachirchiq / Quyichirchiq is not this campus.

Water

Lounge water if you have access — buy a sealed bottle at Duty Free Uzbekistan if not

Uzbekistan Airports does not publish a fountain map or a bottle tariff. Anjir water is the quality pick with Priority Pass / LoungeKey. Otherwise buy a sealed bottle airside at Duty Free Uzbekistan under the B8–B11 / Biznes zali signs.

Skip leftover SEO som bottle prices and leftover generic 'refill station' templates. Anor water is 500,000 UZS walk-in. CIP leftover $200 USD is leftover-stale against the live som CIP tariff.

Lounge

Priority Pass is Anjir — 24/7, max 2 hours, gates B5–B11

Anjir Business Lounge opened 24 February 2025 (VIP Services Group, 427 m² / 116 seats). prioritypass.com: Terminal 2 airside 2nd floor next to gates B5–B11, 00:00–23:59, international and transit only, children under 2 free. Showers leftover on the Amex/PP amenity list.

LoungeKey leftover is the same room. DragonPass leftover opening-day claim plus leftover listing A10118 (gate 43 / 06:00–22:00) is leftover-conflicting with Anjir — check the app. Anor is a separate 500,000 UZS Uzbekistan Airports room. CIP is a street/paid escort product at 1,000,000 UZS departure / 700,000 arrival.
