Abflug Stockholm

As an experienced traveler, I know the best flight connections from Stockholm very well. Stockholm is a major transport hub in Scandinavia and offers travellers a variety of options for their departure.

Among the most popular destinations from Stockholm are certainly the other Nordic capitals such as Copenhagen, Oslo and Helsinki. But major cities in Europe such as London, Paris and Berlin are also well connected to Stockholm. And for long-distance travellers, there are attractive direct flights to New York, Bangkok or Singapore.

The airlines Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Norwegian and Finnair offer the most connections from Stockholm. In addition, there are also regional providers such as BRA and many international carriers that have integrated Stockholm into their route network.

Depending on the destination and flight time, the prices vary greatly, of course. Cheap offers can often be found when booking several weeks in advance. Those who are flexible can also benefit from the special offers of the airlines.

Tips for a smooth departure from Stockholm

To ensure a smooth departure from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, there are a few important things to keep in mind:

1. Arrive on time: I recommend being at the airport at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure. This leaves enough time for check-in, security checks and the way to the gate.
2. Use online check-in: Many airlines offer the option of checking in online. This saves time at the airport and you can go directly to the security area.
3. Pack your hand luggage correctly: To avoid trouble at the security checkpoint, you should pay attention to liquids, gels and creams in your hand luggage. Better to stow in checked luggage.
4. Parking or plan transfer: Depending on your journey to the airport, you should take care of parking or a transfer. Both can be conveniently booked online in advance.
5. Plan a buffer for traffic jams: Especially during the peak travel season, traffic jams can occur on the access roads to the airport. I recommend planning a little more time.

With these tips, your departure from Stockholm Arlanda Airport will be a smooth one.

The main airports in Stockholm

Stockholm has several airports of interest to travellers:

6. Stockholm-Arlanda (ARN): This is the main airport of the Swedish capital and the largest airport in Scandinavia. Most national and international flights depart from here.
7. Stockholm-Bromma (BMA): This smaller airport is closer to the city centre and is mainly used for domestic connections.
8. Stockholm-Skavsta (NYO): This airport is located about 100 km south of Stockholm and is mainly served by low-cost airlines such as Ryanair.
9. Stockholm-Västerås (VST): This airport is located about 100 km west of Stockholm and is also used by some low-cost providers.

Depending on the destination and airline, you have to check exactly from which airport the departure is made. The connection to the city centre varies greatly at the various airports.

Best times to fly from Stockholm

The timing of departure from Stockholm can have a big impact on price and availability. As an experienced traveler, I recommend the following travel times:

High season: The summer months of June to August are the peak travel season in Sweden. Flight prices are usually at their highest during this time, but the weather is at its most pleasant.

Low season: In the months of September to May, demand is significantly lower. You can often find cheaper flights here, but the weather in Stockholm can be very wintry during this time.

Holidays: Before and after Swedish holidays such as Christmas, Easter or the national holiday on June 6, demand is also very high. Early bookings are then particularly important.

Days of the week: In general, flights on weekends, i.e. Friday to Sunday, are slightly more expensive than during the week. If you are flexible, you can save money here.

With a little planning and flexibility, you can get really good bargains for your departure from Stockholm, especially in the off-season.
