Cheap Flights from Helsinki to Sofia — $104

Helsinki Airport (HEL) serves as Finland’s primary international gateway and a northern European hub for flag-carrier and full-service connections, with a growing selection of low-cost and regional carriers as well. Located about 20–25 km north of Helsinki city centre, it’s typically perceived as mid-range on price compared with major European hubs. Ground links include the local train (≈30–35 minutes, moderate fares), airport bus services (≈35–50 minutes, budget to mid fares), taxis (≈25–30 minutes, higher cost), and organised transfers. Pros: modern facilities, efficient transfers and frequent departures; cons: a single main airport may be busy at peak times and onward connections within the city require a short rail or road trip.

Fly nonstop from Helsinki to Sofia for the fastest, most convenient way to reach Bulgaria’s lively capital — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy the city. While connections can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the convenience.

In different months, ticket prices from Helsinki to Sofia vary: minimum — $76 (April 2026), maximum — $164 (February 2026). Typically, the flight costs $117–$136.

Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically functions as a mid-sized hub with a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers—LOT, Lufthansa and Wizz Air commonly operate here—so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season.

Pros include a compact terminal and direct public transit links; cons are periodic peak-time crowds and occasional queueing at passport control on busy days.
