FAQ
Can I find tickets at €62 on any date?
No. That is the lowest price in the sample, but it depends on availability, your chosen date and how far ahead you book. The earlier you reserve, the better the rate. The examples from this search (4 December outbound, 11 December return) show that fare was live on those dates.
Is the London-Sofia flight direct?
Yes, direct with Ryanair. No stops, no changes. London to Sofia in one leg.
Which airline flies this route?
Ryanair is the carrier on this route. Check their website directly or flight comparison sites to confirm availability on your dates.
What to see in Sofia for a weekend?
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is essential, as is a stroll through the historic centre. Taste Bulgarian food, grab coffee on terraces in the Vitosha district. With more time, Rila Monastery or Pirin mountains are nearby.
