How to travel around Uzbekistan by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Uzbekistan

  • Check Uzbekistan Airways domestic baggage by fare and destination
    Uzbekistan Airways’ current baggage table distinguishes service classes and fare types such as PRO, ELITE, LITE, SMART and COMFORT, and notes that allowance varies by destination. Check the column applicable to your domestic ticket rather than another fare’s allowance.

Arriving from another country

  • Match e-visa information to the travel document
    Uzbekistan’s Foreign Ministry identifies e-visa.gov.uz as the official portal. When using an e-visa, its information must match the travel document establishing your identity; the portal states that a discrepancy makes the e-visa invalid. Check whether an e-visa applies to your circumstances rather than assuming one nationality rule.

Before you fly to Uzbekistan

Complete these checks before departure.

Do not assume through-checked baggage across the border and a domestic leg

Uzbekistan Airways states that arrival baggage is checked only to the first border-entry point even with an onward domestic ticket, and domestic-to-international departures cannot be checked from the initial point to the final destination. Both cases require baggage re-check-in. Allow time for the formalities; this is not a rule for every international airside connection.

Uzbekistan flight and airport FAQs

Can I assume baggage is through-checked after entering Uzbekistan for a domestic connection?

No. Uzbekistan Airways states that baggage is checked only to the first border-entry point and needs to be checked in again.

What if e-visa and travel-document information differ?

The official e-visa guidance treats this discrepancy as making the visa invalid. Check the information before travelling.
