Berlin Gets New Year-Round Sofia Flights With Wizz Air
Wizz Air has launched a new year-round link between Berlin Brandenburg Airport and Sofia, giving travellers another nonstop option between Germany and Bulgaria. The service began on 20 September and joins Wizz Air’s expanding BER network, which will grow to 18 routes in the winter schedule. Flights use Airbus A321neo aircraft with capacity for up to 239 passengers.
What to Know About the New Route
- Route: Berlin Brandenburg (BER)–Sofia (SOF).
- Airline: Wizz Air.
- Launch: 20 September 2026.
- Frequency: four flights a week.
- Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
- Seasonality: year-round.
- BER terminal: Wizz Air operates from Terminal 2.
- Useful for: city breaks, weekend trips and longer Bulgaria itineraries without a connection.
The flight takes around 2 hours 10 minutes, according to BER’s destination guide. Wizz Air is not the only nonstop option on the route: Ryanair and Bulgaria Air also connect Berlin with Sofia, giving passengers more choice when comparing dates and fares. Tickets for the new Wizz Air service are available through the airline, while BER lists Sofia among its current destinations.
Sofia Airport is about 10 kilometres from the centre, with Metro Line M4 linking Terminal 2 directly with central Sofia in roughly 20–25 minutes. Once there, visitors can reach sights such as Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, while Boyana Church and Vitosha Mountain sit further south. Sofia’s tourism board also highlights the city as a base for day trips to Rila Monastery.
The Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday pattern makes the route particularly useful for short breaks without forcing travellers into a full-week stay. Because it runs year-round, it also adds another option outside the peak summer season. Anyone comparing the three nonstop airlines should check total fare, baggage conditions and flight times for their dates, rather than choosing only by the headline ticket price.
