A Business Day Trip Out of Arlanda and Back
Updated 3 min read
A day trip — out in the morning, a meeting somewhere, home again the same evening on a different flight — is really two separate bookings, not one, and it's worth setting both up properly from the start rather than only thinking about the outbound leg. The morning departure and the evening return each have their own flight number and their own timing considerations.
This guide covers booking both legs, why the return needs its own flight number entered, and getting a receipt the company can process for the whole trip.

Booking the outbound leg
The morning departure is a standard departure booking — your home or office address as the pickup, Arlanda as the destination, timed against your outbound flight's bag-drop or check-in cut-off the same way any departure would be. Enter your flight number so we can help if anything about the outbound leg changes unexpectedly.
Booking the return separately
The evening return is its own booking, with its own flight number — this matters because flight tracking works per booking, so your return pickup needs the actual return flight entered to follow that flight's real landing time, not the outbound one. Book it either at the same time as the outbound leg, once you know both flight numbers, or later in the day once your return flight is confirmed.
Because a day trip's return time can shift with how the meeting actually runs, flight tracking on the return leg means the pickup adjusts automatically if your flight is delayed — you don't need to call anyone from wherever the day trip took you.
One receipt for the whole trip
Choose the company receipt option on both bookings, and each is issued with the company's details and the VAT line shown, ready to file as one trip's travel expense even though it's technically two separate journeys. This works the same way whether the company is Swedish or based abroad.
Booking both legs before you travel
It's worth setting up both bookings before you leave home in the morning, even though the return is hours away — once you have both flight numbers, there's no reason to wait. That way, the only thing left to think about during the day itself is the meeting, not whether the ride home has been sorted, and the driver details for the evening arrive on schedule regardless of how the day's plans shift around.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to book the outbound and return legs separately?
Yes — they're two separate bookings, each with its own flight number, since flight tracking works per booking and the return leg needs its actual flight entered to track correctly.
Can I book the return leg before I know the exact time I'll be heading back?
Yes, once you know the flight number — the pickup time can be set based on the flight and adjusts automatically if that flight's landing time shifts.
What if my return flight is delayed after a long day?
The pickup for the return leg follows the flight's actual landing time automatically, so a delay doesn't require you to contact anyone from wherever the meeting took you.
Can both legs be booked with a company receipt?
Yes — choose the company receipt option on each booking, and both are issued with the company's details and VAT line, ready to file as one trip.
Is the price different for a same-day return trip?
No — each leg is priced normally for its own route and vehicle category, the same as any other arrival or departure booking.
