Film and Photo Crews Arriving at Arlanda with Equipment

Every vehicle category has a combined luggage budget, and a flight case or a hard case generally counts the way a large suitcase does — the practical unit is size and bulk, not what's actually inside it. Add up your cases the way you would suitcases: a few large flight cases plus crew bags for four people is a different category than the same four people travelling light.

Where equipment doesn't map cleanly onto "large case" or "cabin bag" — an odd-shaped case, something unusually heavy, a set of light stands — describe it in the booking notes rather than guessing at the count. We'd rather confirm it fits before pickup than have it discovered at the boot.

Tripod bags, light stands and similar long items don't always fit the luggage-unit arithmetic the way a case does — mention the length and how many you're bringing in the notes field, the same way you would a stroller or a pair of skis, so the right category is chosen from the start.

We're a licensed Swedish taxi operation running passenger vehicles, not a freight or cargo service. A full production load — multiple large flight cases of grip and electric, a genine van-load of gear — is honestly beyond what even our largest category, the Minibus, is built to carry alongside its passengers. For that volume, a dedicated equipment van is the right call, and we're straightforward about that rather than trying to squeeze it in.

For a crew of two to four with a realistic camera and lighting kit, though, the SUV / XL or Minibus category, sized correctly at booking, generally does the job well.

• Count flight cases and hard cases like large suitcases against the vehicle's luggage budget
• Note long or oddly shaped items — tripods, stands — separately in the booking notes
• For a full production load beyond passenger-car capacity, a dedicated freight van is the honest answer

The Business category with a company receipt, including the VAT line, fits production billing. Book the crew's flight number so the pickup follows the actual landing — useful when equipment can add real time at customs or oversized-baggage collection that an ordinary passenger wouldn't hit.
