Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike, so you can expect a mix of legacy and budget services. It lies about 10–12 km east of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing usually take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses and the metro supply 30–40 minute connections with modest fares. Shuttle and private transfer options are often available for visitors seeking added convenience. Pros include a compact layout and direct metro link to the heart of Sofia; cons can be occasional congestion at peak times and limited late-night services on some routes.

Lyon is served mainly by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the international hub east of the city that handles most long-haul and legacy-carrier flights, and by Lyon–Bron which is smaller and typically used for business aviation and some regional services. Saint-Exupéry sits about 25 km (around 30–45 minutes) from the city centre; it is usually reachable by Rhônexpress tram (approx. 25–30 EUR round-trip, journey ~30 minutes) or by car and coaches, with taxi rides often taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Bron is much closer, usually within 15–20 minutes by car, but has limited public transport options. Saint-Exupéry can be more convenient for international connections and has a wider choice of airlines, while Bron may feel quicker for nearby departures but can be pricier per seat and offer fewer facilities — a trade-off between broader service and local convenience.
