Why are flights to Uzbekistan so expensive now?
Flight prices between Australasia and Uzbekistan have surged due to reduced competition, longer routes avoiding Russian airspace, and rising fuel costs.
Airfares from Sydney to Tashkent have indeed increased dramatically, with economy return tickets now averaging AUD 2,400-3,200, up from typical pre-2022 prices of AUD 1,400-1,800. The closure of Russian airspace to many international carriers has forced flights to take longer southern routes, increasing fuel consumption and flight times. Korean Air and Turkish Airlines, the main carriers serving this route, have reduced their frequency of flights, limiting competition and keeping prices elevated.
Emirates and Qatar Airways offer alternative routings via their Middle Eastern hubs, but these options often involve lengthy layovers of 14-20 hours and higher fares due to increased operational costs. The situation is further complicated by Uzbekistan Airways’ suspension of their direct flights from Tashkent to several Asian hubs, which previously provided more affordable connection options for Australian travelers.

Common mistakes
How to avoid costly pitfalls that can ruin your travels
- Booking disconnected segments Many travelers make separate bookings for legs via Seoul, Dubai or Istanbul instead of utilizing Korean Air, Emirates or Turkish Airlines’ through-fares to Tashkent, resulting in higher costs and risky connections.
- Flying during peak summer season Planning trips to Uzbekistan during July-August means dealing with extreme heat and inflated airfares, while spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer better weather and cheaper flights.
- Ignoring lengthy layovers in Seoul When booking via South Korea, travelers often select flights with 14+ hour layovers at Incheon Airport without taking advantage of Korean Air’s free transit tours or hotel programs.
- Underestimating arrival time at TAS Many flights land at Tashkent International Airport between 1 AM and 4 AM, yet travelers don’t pre-arrange airport transfers or confirm their hotel’s 24-hour check-in policy.
- Missing visa requirements check Although Uzbekistan offers visa-free entry for Australians and New Zealanders up to 30 days, passengers sometimes fail to ensure their layover countries (like China) don’t require transit visas.

Using regional airlines to your advantage
Another strategy for cheaper flights to Uzbekistan
Save money flying to Uzbekistan with regional carriers
Traveling from Australia or New Zealand to Uzbekistan can be expensive, but strategically using Asian regional carriers can significantly reduce costs. Breaking up the journey into segments often yields better prices than booking through major airlines.
- First leg strategy: Book a low-cost carrier like Jetstar or AirAsia to reach a major Asian hub (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok)
- Middle connection: From these hubs, utilize carriers like Air Astana (via Almaty) or Korean Air (via Seoul) to reach Central Asia
- Final approach: Connect to Uzbekistan Airways or Aeroflot for the final leg to Tashkent
Key savings come from booking separate tickets rather than a single itinerary. For example, flying Melbourne-Singapore on Jetstar, then Singapore-Tashkent via Almaty on Air Astana can save up to 40% compared to traditional routes.
Consider mid-week departures and shoulder season travel (March-April or October-November) for the best rates. Book the first leg during sales periods, which typically occur 3-4 months before departure. Remember to allow ample connection time when booking separate tickets, as delays won’t be covered between different carriers.
