Unlicensed Taxi Drivers: Unofficial taxi drivers may approach you inside the terminal or just outside, offering rides at inflated prices or without meters. Avoid by using only official OK Supertrans taxis from the designated rank outside arrivals, or pre-book through the airport's official taxi service. Legitimate taxis have meters and company markings.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport currency exchange counters often offer poor rates with high commissions that aren't clearly displayed until after the transaction. Avoid by withdrawing Bulgarian Lev (BGN) from ATMs in the arrivals hall using your debit card, or exchange only a small amount for immediate needs and use ATMs in the city center for better rates.

Overcharging for Public Transport Tickets: Some individuals may approach offering to 'help' buy metro or bus tickets while adding unofficial fees or selling invalid tickets. Avoid by purchasing tickets directly from the official ticket machines in the metro station (located in the arrivals hall) or from the information desk. The metro to the city center is straightforward and tickets are inexpensive when purchased officially.
