Tips for 40 min Connections
Budget extra time for international connections since there is no dedicated transit zone and you must clear Uzbek immigration and customs.
Domestic-to-domestic connections within Terminal 2 are the quickest, but confirm your gate assignment early as signage can be inconsistent.
Late-night arrivals from Europe or East Asia often bunch up, so expect queues at immigration during the 22:00–01:00 window.
Keep your boarding pass and passport accessible, as staff at terminal transfer points frequently recheck documents.
If flying Uzbekistan Airways on a single ticket, ask ground staff about any expedited transfer desk, as informal assistance is sometimes available for tight connections.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals 1 and 3 handle international arrivals and departures respectively and are linked by a covered walkway or short shuttle bus ride, while Terminal 2 for domestic flights sits a short drive away. International-to-international connections require passing through Uzbek immigration and a fresh security screening, since there is no true sterile transit zone; domestic connections are simpler but still involve a terminal change.
