Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s primary international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service European carriers, low-cost airlines, and regional connections, making it both a continental hub and a budget-friendly entry point depending on your carrier. Located about 10 km east of the city center, the airport is usually reachable by metro in roughly 20–25 minutes, by bus or shuttle in 30–45 minutes, or by taxi in about 20–30 minutes; fares for public transit are generally modest while taxis can vary with traffic. Pros include a compact terminal layout and regular international links; cons can be occasional congestion during peak times and limited late-night service on some routes.
Chișinău International Airport (KIV) is Moldova’s main international gateway and usually handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers connecting the country to Europe, Turkey and regional hubs. Located about 10 km northeast of the city center, transfers typically take 15–25 minutes by taxi and can be 30–40 minutes by public bus or shared shuttle, with fares usually modest. The airport is compact and can be straightforward to navigate, though peak times may feel busy and amenities are more limited than at larger European hubs. Travelers can expect reasonable fares on regional routes; the trade-off is fewer nonstop options for long-haul travel.
