When should I leave for Stockholm Arlanda Airport?

Tell us your flight and we'll work back from how busy the terminal is expected to be. It's a starting point — your airline's deadlines always take priority.

International adds time for passport control and an earlier check-in cut-off.

Typical arrival times

Most people reach the terminal about 1 hour before a short flight and 2 hours before a long one. The times we suggest are deliberately earlier: they put you ahead of about four travellers in five, rather than in the middle of the crowd.
