Arriving at the airport and finding your way out of arrivals
After landing, follow the signs for passport control, baggage reclaim and customs where applicable. Once you are in the public arrivals area, look for the information desks and signs directing you towards taxis, public transport, pre-booked transfers and car hire. If someone is meeting you, agree on a clear meeting point before your flight, as arrivals can be busy and mobile reception may vary.Keep your booking details and accommodation address ready. This helps when asking for directions or confirming a destination with a driver. If your luggage is missing or damaged, contact the relevant airline or airport service desk before leaving the baggage area.
Getting into town
A private transfer is useful if you want a driver to meet you after arrivals and take you directly to your accommodation. It can also suit families, groups or travellers with bulky luggage. Check the meeting instructions and cancellation terms before booking, and make sure the destination address is correct.Taxis are available from the designated airport ranks. Use the official rank, confirm the destination before setting off and check the current fare information with the airport or taxi provider. For public transport, follow airport signs to the relevant departure points and check current routes, fares and operating details before travelling, since these can change.
Hiring a car gives you more flexibility beyond Stockholm, particularly if you plan to visit several places. Compare the rental conditions, fuel policy, insurance and collection instructions, and remember that City parking can be limited and costly. Check the airport or rental provider for current details.
