Dubai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many global airlines; it’s located about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai and typically takes 15–30 minutes by taxi or 25–45 minutes by Metro (fare ranges around a few USD to low double digits). Al Maktoum International (DWC) is a growing, lower-cost alternative farther south (roughly 35–50 km), used increasingly by budget and cargo operators and some long-haul services; transfer times by car can be 40–60+ minutes and costs are higher. DXB is convenient and well connected but can be busy; DWC can be quieter and cheaper but less central and with fewer frequent public transport links.
Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s primary international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it a common choice for both business and budget travelers. Located about 10 km east of the city center, transfer times are usually 15–30 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, with fares often in the low-to-mid range for local currency; public transport options include an express bus and a metro line that generally take 30–40 minutes for a modest fare. The airport can be seen as a convenient hub for international connections and regional flights, offering basic shopping and dining; however, peak hours may bring queues at security and immigration, and facilities can feel compact compared with larger European hubs.
