Sofia Airport (SOF) serves as Bulgaria’s primary international gateway and typically functions as a hub for full-service carriers and budget airlines alike, including Bulgaria Air and several low-cost operators. Located roughly 10–15 km east of the city center, it can usually be reached in 20–35 minutes by taxi or 30–50 minutes by public transport. Options include the metro line with single fares often in a low fixed range, bus services, and conventional taxis with meter-based charges. Travelers can expect a mix of convenient international connections and budget-friendly flight options; downsides can include occasional congestion and limited late-night transport choices compared with smaller regional airports.
Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s major international hub, typically handling most long-haul and premium carriers like Emirates and many global airlines; it’s close to the city center (about 10–15 km) and reachable by Dubai Metro, taxis or airport shuttle in roughly 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by mode. Al Maktoum/Expo (DWC) functions more as a growing secondary hub and low-cost/dedicated cargo gateway, often used by budget and charter operators and located farther out near Jebel Ali (around 35–50 km). Travel to DWC can take 40–60+ minutes by car or coach; options include shuttle services and occasional public buses. DXB offers high convenience and extensive amenities but can be busy; DWC can be cheaper and less crowded but involves longer transfers to central Dubai.
