The journey

What the journey actually looks like

Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.

First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Sofia at 06:02 and the last at 20:54, across 72 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
