Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Samarkand International Airport (TAS) serves as the main gateway to Uzbekistan’s historic city and typically functions as an international hub with a mix of national carrier and regional airlines, plus occasional budget connections. It lies about 6–8 km southeast of the city center, making transfers relatively short: taxi rides often take 15–25 minutes and can be inexpensive by local standards, while shared minibuses and hotel shuttles may take a little longer. The airport is usually modest in facilities—comfortable enough for short waits but not a large shopping or lounge destination—so travelers trade quick access for fewer amenities. Pros: close to the city and straightforward arrivals; cons: limited dining and duty‑free options and fewer direct long‑haul services compared with larger regional hubs.
Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and hosting major full-service carriers alongside some international low-cost airlines; fares can be mid-to-high depending on route and season. It sits about 45–55 km east of downtown, with travel options including the high-speed Maglev plus metro (roughly 40–55 minutes, moderate fares), airport shuttle buses and taxis (60–90 minutes depending on traffic, higher cost). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: greater distance and variable traffic delays. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates as a domestic and regional gateway favored by business travelers and several domestic carriers and low-cost airlines. Located much closer—around 13–18 km west of the city center—it’s typically quicker to reach by metro (20–35 minutes, low fare), airport shuttle and taxi (30–45 minutes, moderate fare). Pros: convenience for domestic transfers and nearer to central districts; cons: fewer long-haul options and sometimes more crowded during peak domestic periods.
