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.
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.
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.
LBD · Northern Tajikistan's gateway and the country's second-busiest airport (about 0.8 million passengers in 2024): a small, modern 2019 terminal with flights mostly to Russia, a domestic link to Dushanbe and seasonal flights to Kashgar, but few facilities, bus or walk-out boarding and no verified lounge access.
TAS · 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.
