South TAS
Cheap flights from Tashkent leave from South airport, the city's own gateway and the one listed as TAS on your ticket. It carries the bulk of the Uzbek capital's international traffic, with flights to Chisinau, Warsaw, Istanbul, Riga, Antalya, Frankfurt, Budapest and London. If you are comparing fares, those are the routes where the choice of day and carrier matters most, and where a shift of a day or two often changes what you pay.

Getting to the city
The airport sits within Tashkent, so the transfer to the centre is short by the standards of a capital. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual way in; agree the fare before you set off, or book through the app so the amount is settled in advance. Slower options exist, but keep them for days when you are not in a hurry. Leave extra time on weekday mornings and in bad weather, and have your hotel address written in Uzbek or Russian to show the driver. If you are connecting, leave a comfortable gap rather than a tight one.
