Burgas is the gateway to Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast — Sarafovo airport, the port, and the resorts of Pomorie, Sozopol, Sunny Beach and Nessebar are all close by. The transfer from Sofia Airport is about 390 km east on the Trakia motorway (A1), typically 4 hours of comfortable highway driving with one short rest stop.
We see two patterns on this route: summer beach travellers who couldn't get a direct flight into Burgas (BOJ), and business passengers heading to the port, the petrochemical complex or company offices in Burgas city. In both cases a private transfer is more comfortable than the bus and far less expensive than charter rates for a group of three or four.
Our standard mid-route stop is the rest area near Karnobat — about 50 km before Burgas — for coffee, a stretch and a fuel break. From there it's a straight 40-minute run to your hotel, the port or a southern-coast resort.
What to expect on this route
Modern dual-carriageway the whole way east — the most comfortable long-distance route in Bulgaria.
Sozopol, Pomorie, Sunny Beach, Nessebar — all within 30–45 minutes of Burgas, quoted as add-ons.
Short coffee and fuel break near Karnobat, included in the fixed price.
Wi-Fi, bottled water and quiet ride for work calls or sleep on a long transfer day.
Vehicle options

Frequently asked questions
How long is the Sofia Airport to Burgas transfer?
Approximately 4 hours on the Trakia motorway (A1), including a short comfort stop near Karnobat. Summer Friday/Saturday traffic can add 20–30 minutes around Plovdiv.
Can you continue to Sunny Beach, Nessebar, Sozopol or Pomorie?
Yes. Burgas is 30–45 minutes from each of the main southern resorts. We quote the onward leg as a small add-on rather than a second transfer.
Is the transfer cheaper than a domestic flight?
For groups of 3 or more passengers, our fixed transfer price is usually lower than 3+ separate flight tickets — and you avoid baggage fees, check-in and the second airport.
Do you make a rest stop on the way?
Yes — a short complimentary coffee/fuel stop near Karnobat, included in the price. Longer stops or sightseeing in Plovdiv can be added at booking.
What about night arrivals?
We operate 24/7. Flight is tracked, chauffeur is in arrivals with an Arrivo sign; the price stays the same for late-night pickups.
Can I book a return transfer at the end of my stay?
Yes — round-trip booking in a single checkout is the easiest option and locks in the same chauffeur for the return.
