Which Arlanda Terminal Is My Flight From?
Updated 3 min read
Arlanda has several terminals, and which one your airline uses isn't fixed forever — airlines are periodically reassigned, so the terminal you flew from last time, or that a friend mentioned recently, isn't a reliable guide for your own trip. Checking it properly takes a minute and avoids the wrong-terminal scramble.
This guide covers where to check and what to do if it changes after you've already booked your transfer.

Where to check
Your boarding pass and airline confirmation are the most direct sources once you have them, and they should show the terminal for your specific flight. Before you have a boarding pass, check Swedavia's own flight information for Arlanda, searching by your flight number — it's the airport's live source and more reliable than assuming based on a previous trip.
Why it's worth confirming close to travel day
Terminal assignments can be reassigned, and in rarer cases a flight's terminal can change close to or even on the day of departure. Checking a few days before you travel, and again on the morning itself if you want to be certain, is a small habit that avoids arriving at the wrong building with your luggage.
Telling your driver
When you book your transfer, tell us the terminal if you know it, so the driver heads straight there. If your terminal changes after booking, or you only find out en route, message your driver using the contact number sent to you before pickup — the drop-off can be adjusted, and it doesn't affect your fixed price either way, since there's no terminal fee.
If you don't know the terminal yet when you book — a common case if you're booking weeks ahead of a flight you haven't been issued a boarding pass for — that's fine. Book the transfer for the right pickup time and address, and add the terminal once you know it, either by updating the notes or simply telling the driver directly closer to the day.
Why it matters more at Arlanda than some airports
Arlanda's terminals aren't all in the same connected building — Terminal 2 in particular is separate from the linked Terminal 4–5 complex, so a wrong-terminal drop-off can mean a genuine walk or a re-route rather than a short stroll to another check-in row. That's a large part of why it's worth the minute it takes to confirm, rather than assuming your airline uses the terminal it did on a previous trip.
It's also worth checking again if your flight has been rebooked or rescheduled for any reason, since a changed flight can sometimes come with a changed terminal even if the airline itself hasn't moved permanently.

Questions people ask before booking
How do I find out which terminal my flight departs from?
Check your boarding pass or airline confirmation once you have one, or Swedavia's own flight information for Arlanda by flight number before that.
Can my airline's terminal change after I've already booked my flight?
Yes — airlines are periodically reassigned between terminals, and in rarer cases a flight's terminal can change close to the day of travel, so it's worth checking again close to departure.
What if I only find out my terminal changed while I'm on the way?
Message your driver using the contact number sent before pickup — the drop-off can be adjusted at no extra cost.
Does the terminal I depart from affect the price?
No — there's no terminal fee, so the fixed price shown before you book is the same regardless of which terminal you're dropped at.
