Landing at Bromma or Skavsta Instead of Arlanda?
3 min read
Stockholm is served by more than one airport, and low-cost carriers in particular sometimes fly into one that's a fair distance from where the name suggests. If you've booked a flight to "Stockholm" and only later realised it isn't landing at Arlanda, you're not the first, and it's easy enough to sort out once you know which airport you're actually flying into.
This is a quick guide to the region's airports and what to do about transport if your booking assumed Arlanda but your flight goes elsewhere.
Which Stockholm airport is which
Arlanda is the main international airport for Stockholm, roughly north of the city, and the one most long-haul and full-service airlines use. Bromma is a smaller airport closer to central Stockholm, used mainly for domestic and some short regional routes. Some budget carriers also market flights as "Stockholm" while actually landing considerably further away, at an airport that carries the city's name commercially but sits in a different part of the country.
Checking your booking confirmation for the actual three-letter airport code, and looking it up, is the fastest way to know for certain which one you're flying into — airline marketing names aren't always a reliable guide.
Our service covers Arlanda
Förare's airport transfer service is built around Arlanda specifically — flight tracking, the pickup meeting point and the airport-arrival pricing all assume that airport. If your flight lands somewhere else in the region, an Arlanda-arrival booking won't meet you at the right place.
We do cover point-to-point rides within Stockholm and the wider region, so if you land elsewhere and need to get into the city, or between two points within Stockholm or Uppsala, that side of the service still applies — it's specifically the airport-arrival flight tracking that's built around Arlanda.
If you've already booked assuming Arlanda
If you realise before your trip that your flight actually lands somewhere other than Arlanda, free cancellation more than 12 hours before pickup, refunded in full, means there's no cost to correcting the booking — cancel it and, if it fits what we cover, rebook the right journey instead.
If it's short notice, contact us directly and we'll help sort out the best option rather than leaving you to work it out alone.

Questions people ask before booking
How do I know which Stockholm airport my flight lands at?
Check the three-letter airport code on your flight booking rather than relying on the airline's marketing name — Arlanda, Bromma and other airports marketed as "Stockholm" are genuinely different places.
Does Förare's airport transfer cover Bromma or other airports?
Our airport-arrival flight tracking and pickup service is built around Arlanda specifically. We do cover point-to-point rides within Stockholm and the wider region separately.
What if I already booked an Arlanda pickup but my flight lands elsewhere?
Cancel free of charge more than 12 hours before pickup, refunded in full, and book the right journey instead. Contact us directly if it's short notice.
Is Bromma close to central Stockholm?
Yes, it's considerably closer to the city centre than Arlanda, and used mainly for domestic and some short regional flights.
Can I book a ride from a different airport into Stockholm?
Point-to-point rides within Stockholm and the wider region are available — it's specifically the airport-arrival flight tracking that's built around Arlanda.
