Worst airline ever. Even Lion Group is better. Rude and clueless staff. Avoid at all costs. You will need to be desperate to even book this airline. I wish they had -ve rating option

I recently flew on 3 internal flights with Uzbekistan Airways. I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of their planes. The cabin was clean, seats were comfortable and spacious, seat belts long enough and leg room that top international airlines should be providing but don't. The staff were pleasant, the flights uneventful - altogether a good experience.

I flew Uzbekistan Airways domestic from Bukhara to Tashkent, then international from Tashkent to Kuala Lumpur. The aircraft were old (Ilyushin for the domestic flight, Boeing 757 for the international one) and for the eight hour flight only one of the three toilets in economy class was working properly. In-flight entertainment was a flashback to the 1990s, with fold-down mini screens above every 5 rows of seats and my headphones didn't work. The flight from Tashkent to KL was daytime, yet many people wanted to sleep and put the blinds down; it was a very boring/uneventful flight. On the flight from Bukhara to Tashkent, the backrests weren't strong enough and bent forward during braking after landing. You can fly Uzbek Airways to visit Uzbekistan or if it's the cheapest/safest option, but I wouldn't choose to fly it otherwise.

Flew Tashkent to Beijing. Flight departed on time, comfortable seats with good legroom, no inflight entertainment but the views over the Pamir Mountain range made up for this, adequate food quality, courteous staff. Overall very good experience.
