Cheap flights from Sofia
Cheap flights from Sofia leave from one airport, so the real choice is timing and carrier. Bulgaria Air, Ryanair, Pegasus, Aegean Airlines, Air Serbia, Tarom and Malta Airlines all show up on departures from Sofia Airport, heading to city-break favourites such as Prague, Krakow, Warsaw and Milan, and to warmer routes like Antalya, Barcelona, Valencia and Nice. Closer to home, Chisinau and Varna stay popular with people flying out of the Bulgarian capital.

Airports — Sofia
Sofia has a single departure airport: Sofia Airport, which handles the scheduled flights out of the Bulgarian capital. That keeps things simple — there is no second field to compare and no cross-town transfer to plan for. What matters more is the carrier. Bulgaria Air and Ryanair cover much of the short-haul map, while Pegasus, Aegean Airlines, Air Serbia, Tarom and Malta Airlines tend to appear on connecting itineraries. Mokulele Flight Service also shows up among the airlines serving the airport.
When to go
Departures from Sofia follow the Bulgarian calendar. The busiest stretches are the summer school holiday and the winter break, when families travel and seats go early. Late spring and early autumn are calmer: schools are in session, the weather still suits a city break, and fares to Prague, Krakow, Warsaw or Milan tend to settle. Southern and coastal routes such as Varna, Antalya, Nice, Barcelona and Valencia fill fastest in high summer, so plan those further ahead. Chisinau stays steady rather than spiking with the seasons.
