How early do I need to be at Arlanda to make my flight?

Swedavia recommends being at the airport when check-in opens. You can find information about your departure on Swedavia’s website. Currently, too many people are arriving far too early, long before the check-in/bag check for their flight opens. This causes crowding. When necessary, the flow of passengers into the terminal is restricted and only passengers with less than three hours before departure are admitted.

There are check-in kiosks in all of the terminals at Arlanda. You can use these to check in and print your baggage tags. However, remember that certain airlines do not use self check-in. Check with your airline which check-in process applies for you.
