What matters for your Sofia charter?

Start with the journey you need, rather than a particular aircraft. These details help the desk compare suitable offers for your departure from London.

Staying in Sofia or continuing beyond the city?

Include the final address and any equipment that needs to travel. For a group whose members return on different dates, request separate options rather than assuming one aircraft and one schedule suit everyone.

When do you need to reach Sofia?

Give your preferred arrival time and onward address, along with where you will be leaving from in London. Include any flexibility in the schedule.

Who and what will travel?

List the passengers, large cases and any equipment or pets. Ask to see the seating plan and baggage allowance for the aircraft in the quote.

One way, a return, or another stop?

If you are returning to London or flying beyond Sofia, include those dates too. Compare the complete itinerary before choosing a cabin.

Plan both ends of the journey

Leaving London, landing near Sofia

LTN

Luton offers the deepest midsize fleet in London and is the value pick for this corridor. Signature and Harrods Aviation both work the field, and short-notice availability for a Praetor 500 or Citation Latitude is usually a phone call away.

FAB

Farnborough is the sharpest pick for west-London and Surrey passengers, with TAG's terminal loading ski or golf kit airside cleanly. For a 2h 40m sector the London-end ground time is a meaningful component of door-to-door.

BQH

Biggin Hill covers south London and the M25 south-east arc. The 1,802m runway takes the midsize types comfortably, and Rizon Jet's handling is quick even in peak ski season.

Where to arrive for Sofia

SOF
Sofia

Sofia Airport handles business aviation through the GA terminal on the Terminal 1 side, with airside customs and a 20-minute transfer to the centre. Bulgaria is outside Schengen so a full third-country border applies since 2021: passports and customs on both ends.

Answers for London departures

Your London to Sofia booking questions

How long is London to Sofia by private jet?
2h 40m block on a midsize direct into SOF. Light jets can make it but westbound headwinds push them past 2h 45m.
How much does a London to Sofia charter cost?
Midsize quotes run £19,500 to £26,000 one-way. Ski season Christmas-New Year and Bansko World Cup week push prices 20 to 35 percent higher.
How far is Bansko from Sofia airport?
Around 2 hours by road, longer in winter storms. Borovets is 90 minutes. Discuss ground transfer at quote stage; helicopter transfers exist but are weather-dependent.
Do I need any special documents for Bulgaria?
A passport, valid for the trip. Bulgaria is outside Schengen so a full UK-third-country border applies since 2021 (customs and immigration at SOF and the UK end).
Are empty legs common London to Sofia?
Sunday evening northbound out of SOF is a strong window through ski season. Southbound empties surface midweek outside peak weeks.
