Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) functions as the international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers — it’s the primary gateway for premium and transfer traffic. Located about 30–35 km east of downtown, transfers to the city typically take 30–60 minutes by airport rail link plus BTS/MRT connections or 30–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; airport rail fares are usually modest while taxis can add tolls and surcharges. Don Mueang (DMK) operates largely as a budget and regional airport, favored by low-cost carriers and some domestic flights. It sits roughly 20–25 km north of central Bangkok, with shuttle buses, commuter trains and taxis taking around 30–60 minutes; fares tend to be lower but service levels more basic. Pros: Suvarnabhumi offers more amenities and smoother international connections; Don Mueang can be cheaper and quicker for domestic or low-cost itineraries. Cons: Both can be affected by heavy traffic and peak transfer times, and you may need extra time between separate-airport connections.
Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s primary international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it both a hub for regional connections and an entry point for budget travel. Located about 10 km east of the city center, transfer times to central Sofia are usually 15–30 minutes by taxi or rideshare, and around 20–40 minutes by metro or bus; fares can typically range from modest city-transport rates to mid-range taxi fares depending on time and traffic. The airport offers a compact terminal with straightforward connections, which can be convenient for quick transfers, though peak hours may be crowded and some services can be pricier than in the city.
