Where is it?
The Vitosha Lounge is located airside in the international terminal, terminal 2. After passing through security control and passport control, turn left and pass through the shopping area and you will find the lounge on the left hand side.
How do I get in?
The lounge is used by a handful of airlines including the airlines in the Lufthansa Group – Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Swiss. The lounge is also used by the national carrier Bulgaria Air.
All other full-service airlines use the Pliska Lounge and the Preslav Lounge for their international flights, which are run by the same company.
It is also possible to access the Vitosha Lounge using various cards such as Priority Pass.
What’s it like?
The Vitosha Lounge is now marketed as an Aspire Lounge, run by Swissport. However there is very little resemblance between this lounge and the other Aspire Lounges throughout Europe.
Although all lounges at Sofia airport are fairly modern and reasonably new this is the most contemporary lounge at the airport and you can easily notice it is run by an international group like Swissport.
The lounge is fairly small with seating for no more than 30 guests. It consists of one small room with brown armchairs and black glass tables.
There is also some contemporary art, which are both used for decoration and to create some division between the seating areas. There is also a limited apron view from the lounge.
Food and drinks
Food and snacks are available for self service and include some sandwiches and canapés, miniature desserts, cookies, nuts and crisps.
Beer, wine, a wide selection of soft drinks, coffee and tea are available for self service and there is also a machine making freshly-squeezed orange juice. Spirits are available to order (free of charge) from the bar counter.
Facilities
Newspapers and magazines are available from a rack, there is a small TV in the lounge and there is free wireless internet.
Restrooms are located in the transit hall just opposite the entrance.
Final impression
Vitosha Aspire Lounge is the most contemporary lounge at Sofia airport. A fairly small lounge with seating for 30 guests with an adequate selection of snacks and drinks.
