Paying when arriving in the middle of the night at Tashkent Airport

Hi,

In two weeks, we’re arriving in Tashkent around 1 a.m. I don’t think my hotel accepts Mastercard—is it better to bring dollars to pay, or will I be able to withdraw some som there?

Same question: I don’t think I’ll be able to buy an eSIM at 1 a.m., but has anyone seen it done that late?

Thanks.

Hi,

It’s totally possible to buy a SIM card at any time when your flight arrives. Often, hotels have an ATM in the lobby, and they’ll accept whatever currency you have if you don’t have som. There’s a currency exchange office at the airport that’s open all night.

Thanks so much, that’ll make things a lot easier for me! :)
