Tashkent Airport

Following a diversion on my British Mediterranean Airways flight from LHR to nearby Bishkek I finally arrived 18 hours late. I reckon we sped through the anticipated hell that was immigration customs and baggage because it was late at night. With a sigh of relief (after less than an hour following touch down) I emerged into the tiniest arrivals hall you could imagine. No proper cafe facilities just a counter selling unfamiliar snack bars and cheap gifts and several eager taxi drivers wanting my custom. Departures was no better for facilities (one small impersonal circular bar at the gate area) but the check in area was bright with liberal use of marble.
