Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically serves as a hub for full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike, so travelers can expect a mix of network 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 the metro offers a reliable 20–25 minute ride to central Sofia. Public buses and airport shuttles are also common, with fares typically lower than taxi alternatives. Pros: convenient metro link and a range of carrier choices; cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional longer transfer times for budget terminals.

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) functions as the primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and SkyTeam flights and often positioned as a full-service option. Domodedovo (DME) is another major international airport that commonly hosts full-service and some low-cost carriers and can be perceived as mid-range on price. Vnukovo (VKO) tends to handle a mix of domestic and international routes, often favored for business charters and some budget services. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a newer, smaller airport that can be used for low-cost and charter operations. Distances to the city center vary: Sheremetyevo is about 30 km, Domodedovo roughly 45 km, Vnukovo around 28 km, and Zhukovsky approximately 40 km. Transport options typically include Aeroexpress trains from Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo taking about 35–45 minutes (fares generally in the mid-range), suburban trains and express buses to Vnukovo taking 40–60 minutes, and regional buses or taxis to Zhukovsky which can take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. Taxi or ride-hailing journeys can be faster but usually cost more and depend on peak congestion; official airport buses and marshrutkas are often the cheapest. Pros: Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo offer wide amenities and frequent international connections; Vnukovo can be more convenient for western approaches and business traffic; Zhukovsky may be quieter and less crowded. Cons: All airports can be affected by heavy road traffic, transfer times can be long, and services at smaller terminals may be more limited.

In different months, ticket prices from Sofia to Moscow vary: minimum — $133 (December 2025), maximum — $776 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $279–$475.
