Questions about Travel Passes

How does the Travel Pass work?

You purchase your Travel Pass on our website. When you have completed the purchase, the Travel Pass is e-mailed to you as an Aztek code. You show the same code for all of your journeys – smooth and simple.

You can also access your Travel Pass by creating an account at arlandaexpress.se, where you can also see your current balance.

Can I travel on my old Travel Card?

No, please contact our customer service if you have any questions.

Is there a physical version of the Travel Pass?

We currently offer no physical version of the Travel Pass. The package of journeys is delivered to passengers in a digital format, and you can then either print the e-mail message or the attached PDF and use this as a physical ticket.

How do you refill a Travel Pass?

Travel Passes are sold in bundles of 12 or 24 journeys. When you have used all of the journeys in a bundle, you will be asked if you want to purchase new journeys. You will then receive a new Aztek code for your new journeys.

How can you see your Travel Pass balance?

You can easily view your current Travel Pass balance by creating an account at arlandaexpress.se. When creating an account, you must use the e-mail address you gave when purchasing the Travel Pass.

If you do not wish to or are unable to create an account, please contact our customer service on arlandaexpress@atrain.se, to receive help with your balance request.

I had an account on your old website – do I need a new account?

We have blocked access to our old website and hence to your previous account. If you want to easily keep track of your Travel Pass balance we recommend that you create a new account. It is quick and easy and requires just a few clicks.

If you have any questions about your old account, please contact our customer service on arlandaexpress@atrain.se.

Why are you making these changes?

We are digitalising our previous Travel Card to offer passengers a smoother, simpler and more flexible product than previously. We have seen rising demand for digital tickets and have developed our Travel Pass solution and related services to meet the needs of our passengers.

How do I exchange my travelcard for a Travel Pass?

You can no longer upgrade your Travel Card for a Travel Pass, please contact our customer service.

How long are the journeys valid?

Travel Passes are valid for 24 months from the date of purchase.

Can I share my Travel Pass with other passengers?

Travel Passes bought online are not personal and can be used by several passengers on the same journey, or shared between several people. The Travel Pass uses an Aztek code that the train attendant scans on each journey. Anyone with access to the code can use the journeys and it can conveniently be shared by e-mail.

Travel Passes bought in our app are linked to a customer-specific account and device, which makes them less flexible to share between passengers.

Please note that Travel Passes are sold in bundles of 12 or 24 journeys, and cannot be divided into smaller units. For example, if you are two people who wish to use the account you simply share the code.
