Sofia Airport (SOF) serves as Bulgaria’s main international gateway and typically functions as a mid-sized hub with a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers; national carrier and several European budget airlines commonly operate there. Located about 10–12 km east of Sofia’s center, travel times by metro or car are usually 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. The metro connects the terminal to central stations with fares that can be modest, while taxis and ride-shares are widely available and can be quicker but costlier. Pros: generally convenient for international connections and reasonably modern facilities; cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional waits at immigration or luggage reclaim can occur.
Tokyo is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Haneda (Tokyo International) functions as the primary domestic and increasingly international hub, handling many full-service carriers and offering relatively convenient schedules; it sits about 14 km south of central Tokyo and is reachable by Tokyo Monorail or Keikyu Line in roughly 15–30 minutes (fares typically in the low hundreds of yen), plus taxis that can be quicker but costlier. Narita (Narita International) is farther out, serving many long-haul and budget airlines and often being perceived as more economical for international travel; it lies some 60–70 km east of the city center, with access via Narita Express or Skyliner taking about 40–60 minutes (fares in the mid to high thousands of yen) and slower but cheaper buses. Haneda’s strengths are proximity and shorter transfer times, making it more convenient for tight connections, while Narita can offer a wider range of international routes and sometimes lower fares; trade-offs include longer ground transfer time from Narita and occasional congestion at Haneda during peak hours.
