Dushanbe Airport IATA Flight Code: DYU, Международный Аэропорт Душанбе | M. Mastangulova (ул.им.М. Мастангулова), 32/2. - GPS: 38.5482, 68.8155 Southwest of City center ☎ +992 37 4494233

Fax +992 37 2278717 Moscow flights by (Tajik Air, Somon Air, Domodedovo Airlines and Sibirian S7), Istanbul - Atatürk on (Turkish Airlines); Urumqi (China-Southern Airlines). Somon Air have a weekly direct flight to Frankfurt, as well as Flights to Dubai, Istanbul and Kiev. It is a hub for East Air, Somon Air and Tajik Air.

Luggages

S7 or its share code flies to most European countries and you could check in your luggage up to Dushanbe. Otherwise you will require a transit visa to collect your luggage and check it in again. If you have no checked luggage, you could walk direct to the transit area. If you use a different airline and have checked in luggage you need a transit visa because the airlines will not transfer it for you. For that reason you have to collect the luggage yourself and check it in for your final flight. In order to collect it you have to pass passport control for which you need a visa (many countries get it upon arrival and free). These policies are subject to change without a notice. Check with your airlines to find out whether they currently transfer luggage.

Visa at the airport

Most of the European and North American nationals can apply for a visa upon arrival in Dushanbe. The airport is very small and the immigration is before the passport control. Bring 2 passport photos, and have the address at which you are staying. Don't lose your "beeline travel slip" which you will get at the immigration office. the luggage X-ray machines are very poor and they pay little attention to the screens.

Watch the children when you leave the airport they will offer to take your bag to the vehicle and start to pull it off you, though not with intentions of stealing, just wanting to help and get a tip.

Stay Safe

In general, Dushanbe is safe but robberies and street crime do sometimes occur even in broad daylight although thit is common. The police force can sometimes seem a little ineffective. Avoid attracting police attention, as the law enforcement officials are primarily concerned with augmenting their small income. People tend to be private and conservative but with a little effort they can be incredibly welcoming and genuine.

Many people complain about corrupt airport officials, who try to scam departing passengers. For further information and how to avoid problems google "Dushanbe airport scam" (sources: lonelyplanet, tripadvisor, caravanistan).

Medical Issues in Dushanbe

Never drink the water from the tap, nor use the water to brush your teeth. Always wash fresh produce, especially when bought from the local bazaar. Some melons, although they are incredibly fresh and sweet, can be irrigated and fertilized with manure, so sometimes washing them will not help. Commonly foreigners from developed countries will get sick at least once while in Tajikistan, but this can be delayed by avoiding unwashed/unpeeled fruits and vegetables (be especially wary of this in restaurants).

Travel Next

There are many drivers for hire who will take you to lakes and mountains nearby. Varzob River also has some vacation areas with raised platforms above the narrow river, which is quite refreshing on a hot day. Be aware that the drivers will most likely not speak English, so a working knowledge of Russian or Tajik is advisable, as are haggling skills.
