TAS Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport.
What to Expect
Tashkent Airport (code: TAS) has two separate terminals: the recently renovated Terminal 2 serves international flights, and Terminal 3, which opened in 2011, handles domestic routes. Travellers describe slow check-in queues and lengthy security procedures, so do arrive early. Facilities include eateries, shops, and free WiFi (which may or may not work). Economy class passengers can pay to enter an airport lounge. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for location and access information.
Sleeping in Tashkent Airport
