TERMINAL GUIDE
Terminal 1: the smaller of Sofia Airport’s two terminals
Terminal 1 is the older, more compact building, about 2 km west of Terminal 2. It handles nearly all Wizz Air flights plus easyJet’s, and distances inside are short – from the entrance to security takes only minutes. The most common mistake is arriving by metro, only to find it stops at Terminal 2.
Getting to Terminal 1
Bus 84 stops right outside Terminal 1. By metro you get off at Terminal 2 and continue on the free shuttle, which runs day and night roughly every 20–40 minutes. By taxi or car, say “Terminal 1” explicitly – sat-navs often default to Terminal 2.

P1 parking and meeting arrivals
Open-air car park P1 is right opposite the building, so it works both for meeting arrivals and for stays of a few days. Stopping at the entrance is for drop-offs only; if you are waiting for someone, use P1.

Is your flight from Terminal 1?
The terminal is printed on your boarding pass and shown on the board above. Wizz Air nearly always uses Terminal 1, but a few of its flights leave from Terminal 2 – check the specific flight on the day rather than relying on your last trip.

How early to arrive
Arrive 2 hours early for a Schengen flight and about 3 hours for non-Schengen destinations (London, Istanbul, Dubai), which add passport control. If you come via Terminal 2 on the shuttle, add another 30–40 minutes.
