๐ข Terminal Information
Sofia Airport operates two main terminals connected by a dedicated shuttle bus service. Terminal 1 primarily handles low-cost and charter carriers, while Terminal 2 serves as the main hub for scheduled airlines including Bulgaria Air and most international carriers. Both terminals share the same landside parking and transport infrastructure but require a shuttle transfer for passengers moving between them, which typically takes 5-7 minutes plus waiting time.
Terminal 2 features a modern layout with check-in counters on the ground level and departures on the upper floor. After check-in, passengers proceed through centralized security screening, which typically takes 10-20 minutes during peak periods. The security checkpoint leads to a single departures hall that serves both Schengen and non-Schengen flights, with passport control positioned at the entrance to non-Schengen gates. EU/EEA passengers can use automated e-gates for faster processing.
Walking distances within Terminal 2 are manageable โ most gates are within 5-10 minutes of security, with the furthest gates taking up to 12 minutes. Moving walkways assist passengers along the main concourse. Terminal 1 is smaller and more compact, with shorter walking times but fewer amenities. Immigration for international arrivals occurs before baggage claim, with customs inspection following standard green/red channel procedures.
Amenities in Terminal 2 include duty-free shops, local souvenir stores, cafes, and restaurants serving Bulgarian and international cuisine. The Business Lounge near Gate 6 offers comfortable seating and refreshments for eligible passengers. Terminal 1 has more limited dining and retail options but covers essentials. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout both terminals, with charging stations located near gate areas. The airport provides accessibility services including wheelchair assistance, accessible restrooms, and dedicated parking spaces.
