Landing at Arlanda for a Hospital Appointment
Updated 3 min read
Flying into Stockholm specifically for a hospital appointment — a specialist consultation, a scheduled procedure, ongoing treatment — comes with its own kind of pressure. You've usually got a fixed appointment time at the other end, you may not be feeling your best, and the last thing you want after a flight is uncertainty about how you're actually getting to the clinic.
This guide covers how to plan that leg of the trip: getting the timing right, naming the right entrance, and flagging any mobility needs so the car that meets you is actually the right one.
Build in a buffer, not just the flight time
A hospital appointment is one of the few trips where arriving slightly early is genuinely more valuable than arriving exactly on time — hospitals in Stockholm and Uppsala can be large sites with a walk from where a car can set down to where your specific department actually is, and you don't want that walk to be the reason you're late.
Give yourself a realistic buffer between your expected landing and the appointment time, and let flight tracking absorb the actual variability — your pickup follows your flight's real landing time, so you don't need to guess at padding the pickup itself, just leave enough room in your overall plan.
Naming the right entrance and department
Larger hospitals often have more than one entrance, and the one nearest a car park or drop-off point isn't always the closest one to your actual department. If you know which entrance or building your appointment is in, put it in the booking notes — it means your driver can head for the right spot rather than a generic hospital address that leaves you with an unplanned extra walk.
If you're not sure which entrance is right, the hospital's own appointment letter or website usually says, and it's worth checking before you fly rather than working it out on arrival.
Mobility needs and getting it right on the day
If you'll need help with a wheelchair, have limited mobility, or are travelling with medical equipment, tell us at booking so we can send a suitable vehicle — this is exactly the kind of detail that's much easier to sort out in advance than to discover at the kerb.
It's also worth carrying your appointment letter or confirmation with you in the car, in case the driver needs the exact address or department name and your phone isn't easy to reach.

Questions people ask before booking
Can I book a transfer straight from Arlanda to a specific hospital entrance?
Yes — name the entrance, building or department in your booking notes and your driver will head for that rather than a generic hospital address.
What if my flight is delayed and I'm worried about missing my appointment?
Flight tracking follows your actual landing time, so your pickup timing adjusts with it. Build a realistic buffer into your overall plan, and contact your hospital directly if a delay genuinely threatens the appointment itself.
Can you accommodate a wheelchair or limited mobility?
Tell us at booking so we can send a suitable vehicle — mobility needs are much easier to plan for in advance than to sort out on the day.
Is this an option for an emergency, not a scheduled appointment?
No — for a medical emergency, call 112. This is for scheduled, non-emergency appointments where you know the time and place in advance.
Do I get a receipt I can use for a reimbursement claim?
Yes — every trip comes with a receipt showing the price and VAT line, which you can use for your own records or a reimbursement claim where applicable.
