Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s primary international gateway and typically handles most long‑haul and European carriers, while low‑cost airlines also operate frequent services. Situated about 10 km east of the city center, transfers usually take 15–30 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public options include the metro (Line M4) in roughly 20 minutes, shuttle buses around 25–40 minutes, and taxis or ride‑shares that can be quicker but vary in cost; fares commonly range from modest metro prices up to higher taxi/ride fares depending on time of day. Pros: convenient location and good public‑transport links; cons: can be busy at peak times and some services may be less polished than larger Western hubs.
Helsinki Airport (HEL) is Finland’s primary international gateway and typically serves both full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it the main choice for long-haul and regional connections. Located about 20–25 km north of Helsinki city centre, travel time to downtown is usually 30–40 minutes by train or 35–50 minutes by bus, with fares typically in the low-to-mid range for public transport; taxis and rideshares are faster but costlier. The airport is generally well equipped with lounges, shops and frequent connections, so comfort and transfer convenience are typically strong. On the downside, it can be busy during peak seasons and peripheral parking or transfers can add time and expense.
