Flights here are often competitively priced compared with Western Europe, though seasonal spikes can occur. The airport lies about 10 km (6 miles) east of Sofia city center; travel times are generally 20–40 minutes by taxi or car depending on traffic, and 20–30 minutes by metro with a single-journey fare usually in the low-euro range.
