On arrival at Burgas Airport

From the arrivals hall to each way in
Finding the stop

For the bus into town, walk out to the roundabout at the airport entrance, a short walk from Terminal 2: bus 15 to Bus Station Yug stops there. Only the evening 15A buses, about 17:48 to 19:48, drive in and stop in front of Terminal 2.

Tickets

Pay EUR 0.80 to the driver, or tap a contactless Visa, Mastercard or Maestro card, or Apple Pay or Google Pay, on the reader opposite the second door and wait for the confirmation. One card pays for one passenger; American Express, prepaid cards and Revolut are refused.

The taxi rank

Eko Taxi, the airport's licensed company, has its yellow cabs in front of Terminal 2 and a counter inside arrivals, around the clock. In Burgas the meter runs; the resorts have fixed prices on its list.

Luggage

A suitcase or bulky bag needs an extra ticket on the city buses, bus 15 included.

At night

The last bus 15 passes the airport roundabout at about 23:23 and the first at about 05:08; the city's night line does not serve the airport. Between those times the choice is an Eko Taxi from Terminal 2 or a pre-booked transfer.
