Tips for your departure transfer
For a departure transfer we suggest a hotel pickup about 7 hours before take-off.
- Give us your flight departure time; we will suggest a pickup time that leaves 7 h for check-in and security at Samarkand Airport.
- Ask reception to have your luggage ready five minutes before pickup — drivers are punctual.
- Travelling with children? Child seats are free; tell us the ages in the booking notes.
- In high season traffic around Bukhara can be heavier in the morning; choose the earlier of two pickup options if in doubt.
What the journey is like
This is a longer drive, so sit back: the vehicle is air-conditioned, the driver knows the road to Bukhara well, and a comfort stop halfway is included on request. There is no surcharge for late-night or early-morning transfers.

In the summer season, town entrances can be busy between about 16:00 and 19:00 and on changeover days. Night and early-morning drives are usually quicker.
On this long drive the driver can make a short break at a service station on request — for a restroom, water or a coffee.
Your driver follows live traffic and picks the best route. The price is fixed and does not change with traffic or waiting time.
For the return trip we recommend a pickup about 7 hours before your flight departs.
