Cheapest time to fly to Stockholm Arlanda (ARN)
Stockholm's latitude largely dictates the best time to visit. Stockholm Arlanda flights are much cheaper in the winter when the city experiences minimal daylight hours. Last-minute flights and deals are more commonly found in the winter months, which is also when the city is less crowded and hotels are less expensive. Return flights for the Midsummer Festival, the longest day of the year, do increase in price but the celebrations are simply fantastic.
Flying to Stockholm Arlanda Airport
Arlanda Airport flights land at Sweden's largest airport which serves as the gateway to the country. Arlanda is located 23 miles north of Stockholm's historic city centre and is a major hub for several Scandinavian carriers. Direct flights are available from nearly all UK airports and carriers include Norwegian, SAS and British Airways. Deals on return flights with a connection are available with a number of other airlines such as KLM and Lufthansa.
On arrival and getting around ARN
Almost 27 million passengers took flights to or from Arlanda Airport in 2017, the majority of which were travelling internationally. All non-domestic operations use terminals 2 and 5, both of which have extensive dining facilities and a shopping area known as 'Sky City'. Due to the airport's small size, all terminals can be accessed on foot and a new central building connects many of the major points in the airport. Using Netflights will let you find the best last-minute flights to this sophisticated user-friendly airport in a matter of moments.
Getting to the city from the airport
Most passengers arriving on cheap flights to Arlanda Airport continue their journey via the high-speed Arlanda Express. The journey takes just 20 minutes to reach Stockholm Central Station, where you can use the city's excellent public transport system to reach your final destination. Buses also connect the airport to the city, but they are less comfortable and take much longer. Taxis are available for a fixed price to travel to the city centre. However, a taxi journey is expensive and takes longer than the train service.
Don't forget before you fly
Before heading off to the airport on your direct flight, remember that Sweden doesn't use the euro and you will need Swedish Kroner for your trip. UK citizens with a full UK passport will not need a visa for their return flights to Arlanda Airport.
