Givibg 5 starts just to recognize the hard work and effort of staff who have managed to make significant improvements into airport service.
For those expats who have been long enough, you know well that the flight time was shorter than time for passing immigration and picking up luggage and passing customs.
Thank you for improvements, keep up the good job.
Looking forward to opening of a decent Uzbek restaurant at airport. Imagine taking plof with you for a New York flight.
Tashkent Airport International Terminal.
For me, the most important thing was being able to exit the airport without any waiting. The passport control and customs staff were extremely friendly..
Yes, the airport might be a bit old and outdated, and perhaps Tashkent deserves a better one, but functionally, we didn’t experience any issues.
Compared to airports located far outside the city, it’s a wonderful feeling to be in the city center the moment you step out.
For the first time in Kazakhstan. I liked everything very much. Bright, hospitable, warm, extraordinarily ancient, beautiful architecture. The only thing I really didn't like was when you come to some museum, for some reason they ask where you came from, i.e. if it turns out that you are from Russia, then the ticket will be sold 3 times more expensive. Moreover, they ask questions very persistently, as if they are being interrogated, they get annoyed if you do not confirm their assumptions. When tourists come to Russia, they sell tickets to them at the same price as everyone else
This left a very unpleasant aftertaste. And so Uzbekistan and its people are very pleasant to communicate. I recommend visiting Uzbekistan!
The terminal is generally comfortable, large, and there are places to relax. You can even find sockets, but there could be more.
There are several cafes. Prices with the airport coefficient.
It's sad that the business lounge is open only for customers with business class plane tickets. There is no possibility to use the room for banking program clients with the privilege of visiting the room of increased comfort. For example, there is such an opportunity at Samarkand airport, but for some reason not in the capital.
The staff is polite. Inspection and control are fast. The waiting rooms are clean. The mood was slightly overshadowed by the delay of the flight to Minsk and the cosmic prices for alcohol in duty-free. In addition, the door to corridor B6 (for boarding) from corridor B5 was closed. I had to figure it out: go to B5, turn left and here it is at B6. Open the door and sign it B6. In general, it's a normal airport.
A surprisingly convenient terminal. Good and fast electronic passport control. Polite and absolutely normal employees of law enforcement agencies and customs. There is a smoking room at the airport, and the main mystery is how to smoke if lighters are taken away at the checkpoint?A local policeman helps out with matches).
A modern terminal that meets all the requirements of the time! From the outside, the huge screens blend perfectly with the general view of the airport, it would be great if they built an installation or a photo zone.“Meet me at home!”
It became very clean.The service does its job well.Modern equipment .
We arrived from Sharm el Sheikh, and began to compare Terminals.Their Terminal remained in 1990.
Cons, not the good manners of our passengers.They sit on the seats with their feet, take up 3-4 seats.This mainly concerns transit workers.By the way, there are very few seats in the registration area.
My family uses the services of our Airport very often, so we notice all the pros and cons right away
In general, you can give 5 stars. But, in my opinion, it's still 4 .. - they didn't call for boarding, that is, they didn't announce it, in the waiting rooms and duty-free goods are priceless, that is, there are no prices at all..the informative display boards are full of advertisements , but not useful information for the passenger ...
Otherwise everything is fine - clean , beautiful , the staff is friendly .
A normal terminal , an exchanger on the ground floor , the remaining local currency can be exchanged for any convenient one . There is free Internet, but only for the local SIM card.
The staff are responsive, and prices for snacks are lower than in Moscow. Taxi in business class + cheap to the city! 260 rubles for ours! A simple taxi in the city is 150-210 rubles
The airport has the best staff, everything is great with the flight, but the waiting room is located in the street and it is not comfortable to stand directly on the street, especially in winter it is not comfortable.
Upon arrival at the airport in business class, it is necessary to take into account that you will be taken to a separate room, and your luggage will be handed out to the tape in another building where all other passengers are. Then, from the remaining luggage on the tape (in another building), local employees will search for names and luggage. Then slowly, slowly, they will throw him into the car and finally take him to the room where you and other business class passengers are. In general, set up for 2 hours of waiting until your luggage goes through all the circles of Hell.
The staff is very nice, neat, clean and polite. Especially very polite taxi drivers in Yandex. I will definitely come to Tashkent again. I love you, my Tashkent.
In the waiting room, the air conditioners were shaking so much that I caught a cold. The only salvation was coffee and tea in a cafe for money.
Dress warmly 🧦🧣
Everything seems to be not bad, but there are still a lot of things, but) why check people at the exit who are already checked at the entrance?
Yes, a lot of things are still missing for a comfortable stay in the terminal
Registration is a constant problem, passport control is constantly queuing for both response and arrival, baggage collection is also constantly delayed.
There is no infrastructure before passport control. There is no cafe, sockets in the floor, a VIP room for three hours for 1 million! It is not provided for a long wait
