Flygbussarna connections to Stockholm’s four airports

Flygbussarna is a relatively inexpensive airport bus transportation service for several airports in Sweden. The prevalence of cheap flights to and from USA airports and Stockholm Arlanda with Norwegian Airlines and WOW flights, along with most alliance airlines, provides opportunities to travel between USA airports and Stockholm on the cheap. Sweden is relatively expensive for many American travelers. This post discusses Flygbussarn bus airport transportation options as one of the first ways you can save money in Sweden.

I have flown Norwegian Airlines twice in 2017 from Stockholm Arlanda to Oakland, California one way for $111 and $149.

Stockholm Arlanda Express Train

From Stockholm Arlanda Airport there is Arlanda Express fast train 20-minute service directly from the airport terminal to downtown Stockholm. You will generally pay more than double the ticket price to ride the 20 minute fast train 42 km (26 miles) to Stockholm city center. Arlanda Express is $60.37 USD for a single adult round trip train ticket.

Flygbussarna bus tickets are $22.18 USD round trip with an online purchase.

January 2017, I arrived at Stockholm Arlanda airport and booked my Flygbussarna ticket to Stockholm City on my iPhone as I walked to the bus stop, then scanned my email boarding pass to enter the bus to Stockholm.

Flygbussarna bus service between Stockholm Arlanda ARN and City Center takes about 45 minutes compared to 20 minutes for Arlanda Express for 99 SEK one way for a single adult with online ticket purchase. Flygbussarna Stockholm City Terminal bus stop is one level up in the same Stockholm city terminal building as Arlanda Express train station platform.

Stockholm Airports: Arlanda ARN, Skavsta NYO, Bromma BMA, VÃ¤sterÃ¥s Airport VST.

Stockholm has four airports with Arlanda ARN, Skavsta NYO, Bromma BMA and VÃ¤sterÃ¥s Airport VST.

Most international travelers from the USA will likely only transit through Stockholm Arlanda ARN.

Flygbussarna really becomes useful when you need transportation between the city and the other three airports where many low fare airline flights arrive and depart for intra-Scandinavia and intra-Europe flights with carriers like Ryanair and Wizz.
