Cheap Flights from Sofia to Abu Dhabi — $79

Sofia Airport (SOF) serves as Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub for both legacy carriers and growing low-cost operators. It’s about 10–12 km east of the city center, with regular transport options including metro (roughly 20–25 minutes to central Serdika), buses and shuttle services (30–40 minutes depending on traffic), plus taxis and ride-hailing — fares commonly range from modest bus fares to taxi trips that can be notably higher during peak times. The airport usually offers a mix of international connections and budget routes, making it convenient for both business and leisure travelers; however, some terminals can feel busy at peak hours and transfers may require extra time.

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically serves as a hub for full-service carriers and some regional low-cost airlines. Located about 30–40 km from the downtown Corniche, travel time to the city center can be roughly 30–50 minutes by taxi or rideshare, and approximately 45–75 minutes by bus; expect taxi fares to be noticeably higher than local buses. The airport generally offers modern terminals, lounges, and extensive international connections, which can make it more convenient but sometimes pricier compared with nearby low-cost options. For travellers prioritizing budget, check for connecting flights via secondary carriers; for comfort and direct long-haul links, AUH is usually the most straightforward choice.
