Booking domestic flight - UZAirways

[GuidoODB81]

We are planning our trip to Uzbekistan( month of May).The plan is to start our tour in the west, and therefore we want to take a domestic flight from Tashkent to Nukus.
According to the infomation on website UZ Airways, a flight is available on Saturday (flight HY17 at 8pm).But currently the flight is only bookable until 25 March 23.
Is it normal that one cannot book a domestic flight earlier than a few months in advance ?
Solution by going through a travel agency and which one is recommended ? Or still wait and try later ?
Since our travel timing assumes a flight to Nukus we obviously want certainty ...
Thanks.
Guido
Very useful website !

Yes - this is perfectly normal and there will be seats available at a later stage. (This is not from personal experience, but from reading similar questions before and looking into flight schedules myself...)

Thanks Sebastian,
I had not found any info anywhere about the domestic flights, or rather the impossibility of booking them several months in advance, hence my question here.

For your information, we managed to book a domestic flight Tashkent-Nukus ( May 6) on Jan 25 th
Through the app, it was USD 5 cheaper per ticket than through the website.
A flight Fergana-Tashkent on May 20 could not be booked yet.
Contacted UZAirways via Whatsapp ( +99890-998-15-78) Answer: one had no information when booking was possible....

There are at least two comfortable trains daily that run between Margilan (near Fergana) and Tashkent. It's a fairly scenic ride (in contrast to most other train rides in Uzbekistan) and takes about 5 hours and 30 minutes. Just in case this might be a relevant alternative...
