Flight was delayed 2 hours due to technical issues they were having at Zurich airport according to the swiss agent when I called. This caused my connection flight to be unviable. The swiss agent was helpful in finding me a partner airline to fulfill my need to get to final destination in eastern Europe. However, the only flight the agent was originally able to find me was a connecting flight through Frankfurt with a 7 hour layover and not only that but they didnt have space on the flight without upgrading me to a higher cabin class at my expense of 384 euro. I asked if this could be waived since the technical issues were not my fault from the beginning and the agent stated they arent. I ended up paying the extra 384 euro for the agent to call me back an hour later stating he found another flight through Munich with only an hour and a half layover which was great, but when I asked for the 384 euros to be refunded he stated that was included in the price difference for this flight and there was nothing he could do about that. I feel like I got scammed out of that 384 euros as that was a cabin upgrade for a flight I never ended up taking that was supposed to be my replacement for an error they were having on their end. I am grateful for the agent finding me replacement flights that worked in my favor time wise but not in being swindled out of extra charges. I also paid 85 USD to "pick my seats" (which honestly feels like a cash grab on behalf of airlines these days anyways) on my original swiss flight that I did not receive back either since I could not pick my seats on the replacement flights as well. Way to use flight delays for swindling your customers Swiss. Kayak was great as usual but I did not have any communications with Kayak directly for this ordeal it was all through Swiss airlines.

Don’t book flights to Sofia for the typical must-see checklist of tourist attractions found in other European cities. The capital of Bulgaria doesn’t have much to offer visitors by way of castles, churches and monuments, but Sofia is full of fascinating people and off-the-beaten-path gems that appeal to any kind of traveler.

Travelers eager to explore Bulgaria start with a flight to Sofia. Look away from the drab buildings and traffic-filled roadways in the city center and explore Sofia by foot. At stop at a local coffee house or sidewalk café offers more to tourists than a walk through the city center. The open-air bars and restaurants greet visitors with a savory meal and a refreshing beverage before heading off to discover the rest of Bulgaria.

Sofia, Bulgaria climate

Summers are balmy with temperatures usually in the 70s (Fahrenheit) and low humidity, although July and August can reach the 80s. Winters are cold with below freezing temperatures December through February.Rain is typical any month of the year, especially in April and May. In winter, Sofia gets snow instead, most of it falling from December to February.

Best Time to Fly to Sofia, Bulgaria

Peak Season:

Sofia is busy in summer and winter, mostly with visitors on their way to the Black Sea resorts. Hiking trails in summer and the ski slopes in winter are popular so it’s wise to book Sofia flights and accommodations early. In June, the city hosts the popular Sofia Music Weeks.with a reputation for being aparty town, the nightlife is exuberant around the clock and year-round. The clubs also host varied and eclectic performances from traditional Bulgarian music to punk, reggae, and metal.

Getting around Sofia, Bulgaria

Sofia’s public transportation network of buses, trolleys and trams reaches all corners of the city from early morning to late evening. Buy tickets from street kiosks. Fares are cheap, but one-day and multiple-day tickets will save you even more money. The metro doesn’t hit tourist attractions or hotels. Be prepared and travel with a map, and don’t be afraid to ask locals for help. Despite public transit system’s extensive coverage, stops aren’t well-marked and contain little if any information. For a bit more money, you can travel in a private minibus, which is faster than a regular bus. Don’t worry about buying tickets ahead of time, just pay the driver when you board. Calling for a taxi can get lost in translation. Most dispatches don’t speak English, but the fares are reasonable as long as you’re not overcharged. Make sure the meter is running and know where you’re going. Drivers expect you to know where you’re going and often need you to give directions. Don’t drive in Sofia. With public transportation and taxis available, battling the horrible traffic isn’t worth it.
