How far in advance do Afrosiyob train tickets open?

Uzbekistan Railways officially opens online booking 45 days prior to the departure date. Because high-speed Afrosiyob departures between Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara sell out within minutes, our concierge team queues your order to secure seats the second the inventory releases.

VIP Class features a dedicated 16-seat leather interior, maximum legroom, and complimentary snacks. Business Class offers 2+1 spacious seating with power outlets. Economy Class features comfortable 2+2 modern seating with overhead luggage racks and air conditioning.

Are there trains connecting Tashkent with Kokand and Andijan?

Yes. The Ozbekiston Express and daily regional electric trains connect Tashkent to Kokand, Margilan, and Andijan via the 19 km Kamchik Pass mountain tunnel, avoiding high mountain roads.
