Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for both legacy carriers and low-cost airlines, so you can expect a mix of full-service and budget flights. It sits about 10 km east of Sofia city centre, with tram and bus links taking roughly 20–30 minutes and taxis or rideshares usually 15–25 minutes depending on traffic; public transport fares are typically low-cost while taxi fares can vary. Trains occasionally run with similar journey times. The airport is generally convenient for transfers and city access, though peak hours can be busy and some budget terminals may feel more basic than newer hubs.
Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves the Cologne/Bonn region as a medium-sized international gateway that mixes scheduled European routes with a strong low-cost and leisure carrier presence. Full-service airlines like Lufthansa operate alongside budget carriers, so fares can range from economical to mid-priced depending on season. The airport lies about 15 km southeast of central Cologne; travel to the city center typically takes 20–30 minutes by regional S-Bahn or commuter train, around 30–45 minutes by road depending on traffic, and taxis or ride-shares usually carry higher fares. Pros: compact layout and generally quick processes for short-haul flights. Cons: fewer long-haul connections and peak-time crowding can affect comfort.
