Arrive 2.5 Hours Early for Tashkent International Flights
Word to the wise if you’re flying internationally out of Tashkent: My flight was at 6:05. I arrived at 3:50 (gross). It took me one hour and 19 minutes to get through check-in, passport control, and security. I had five minutes and then it was time to board. I would recommend getting here at least 2.5 hours before your flight. Very early mornings are prime time hours here.
