Getting Dropped Off at Arlanda Terminal 5 Departures

Updated 3 min read

Terminal 5 is Arlanda's main terminal for international departures, and it's a large building — knowing roughly where your check-in row sits before you're dropped off saves you a walk in the wrong direction with your luggage.

This guide covers the drop-off itself and getting from the car to the right part of the terminal.

The drop-off

Your driver goes straight to the Terminal 5 departures drop-off, and there's no terminal fee added to your price for it — the fixed price shown before you book already covers the whole trip. Confirm your terminal on your boarding pass before you travel if you're not certain, since some airlines operate from Terminal 2 or 4 instead, and check with Swedavia's flight information if you want to confirm ahead of booking.

Finding your check-in row

Terminal 5 check-in is organised by airline into different rows, and the exact layout is best confirmed on the departures screens once you're inside or on your airline's own airport guidance — it's not something worth guessing at in advance. Your boarding pass or airline app usually shows the check-in row for your flight closer to departure day.

If your terminal changes

Airlines occasionally move between terminals, including on the day of travel in rare cases. If that happens after you've booked, tell your driver — the pickup and drop-off can be adjusted, and it doesn't change your fixed price.

Terminal 5's size in practice

Being Arlanda's largest terminal, Terminal 5 has a longer walk between the drop-off and some of the further-out check-in rows or security lanes than a smaller terminal would, which is worth factoring into your margin, particularly if you're travelling with a lot of luggage or with children. It's not a reason to arrive dramatically earlier, just a reason not to assume the walk itself takes no time.

Multiple drop-off points

Larger terminals sometimes have more than one practical drop-off area depending on which part of check-in you need, and airport signage at the kerb usually indicates the nearest entrance for different airlines or check-in zones. Your driver is familiar with these and will aim for the entrance closest to your specific check-in row where that's practical, rather than a single default stop regardless of your airline.

Getting picked up here on the way home

Terminal 5 is also where most international arrivals land, so if your trip includes a return leg, the same building and general layout apply on the way back — worth knowing if you're planning both journeys around the same terminal. Book your return pickup the same way as any other arrival transfer, and give us your inbound flight number so the pickup time follows your actual landing rather than a fixed guess.

Questions people ask before booking

Does it cost extra to be dropped at Terminal 5?

No — there's no terminal fee. The fixed price shown before you book covers the trip to whichever terminal your flight departs from.

How do I know which check-in row to walk to at Terminal 5?

Check the departures screens once inside, or your airline's boarding pass or app closer to your travel date — the exact row assignment isn't something to guess at in advance.

What if my flight isn't actually from Terminal 5?

Confirm your terminal on your boarding pass or with Swedavia's flight information before you travel, and tell your driver the correct terminal — it doesn't affect your price either way.

Can my driver adjust the drop-off if my terminal changes on the day?

Yes — message the driver using the contact details you're sent before pickup, and the drop-off point can be changed with no effect on your price.
