Kyrgystan is not allowing foreigners to enter the country, all of Central Asia is locking down.

It looks like Uzbek Air will run a flight on Saturday to Delhi, where it looks like we can transfer to Singapore Air and get to Brisbane via SIN.

The other possibility is a charter to Tokyo on March 31, April 1 or April 2 which I guess will be Plan B if the Delhi flight doesn't work out, but it will probably be harder to get flights back to Australia by then.

Any thoughts/advice welcome.
