London is served by several airports catering to different traveler needs. Heathrow (LHR) is the city’s main international hub, typically hosting long-haul carriers and premium airlines; it’s about 25 km west of central London and reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, higher fares), TfL Rail/Elizabeth Line (25–30 minutes, moderate fares) or road (30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Gatwick (LGW) to the south usually handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, about 45 km from the centre with a 30–35 minute Gatwick Express or 30–60 minute trains at moderate cost. Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN) are often positioned as budget and charter-focused airports to the northeast and northwest respectively; both can be 35–70 minutes by express or shuttle trains and coach services, typically at lower fares but with longer transfers. London City (LCY) serves business travelers with short-haul and niche routes, located within the city and often reachable by Docklands Light Railway in 20–30 minutes; fares are usually higher given convenience. Pros across the network include broad route choices and frequent connections; cons can include variable transfer times, additional transport costs, and differing levels of terminal comfort depending on the airport.

Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. It’s located about 10 km east of the city center, with travel times to downtown usually between 20 and 40 minutes depending on traffic. Public transport includes a metro connection (around 20–25 minutes) and several bus lines, while taxis and ride-hailing can take 20–35 minutes; fares for buses are very low and taxis generally range from budget to moderate.
