Landing at Arlanda for a Job Interview in Stockholm
Updated 3 min read
Flying into Stockholm for an interview puts a different kind of pressure on the arrival than most trips — you need to be on time, presentable, and not visibly rattled by anything that happened on the way, sometimes with barely a few hours between landing and walking into the room. Getting the transfer right is a small thing that removes a genuinely large source of pre-interview stress.
This guide covers building the right buffer, going straight to the office, and getting a receipt if your prospective employer or a recruiter is covering the trip.
Build a buffer that accounts for landing, not just flying
If your interview is the same day you land, the time between touching down and being in the room needs to cover more than the drive — baggage reclaim, any queue, and simply getting your bearings in an unfamiliar terminal all eat into the margin. Flight tracking keeps your pickup accurate to your actual landing time, so you're not adding buffer against flight delay on top of your own plan, but it's still worth giving yourself real breathing room between landing and the interview itself.
If the schedule is genuinely tight, it's worth asking whether the interview can start slightly later, or whether flying in the evening before is realistic — arriving composed the night before beats arriving rushed the same morning.
Going straight to the office, luggage and all
You don't need to detour via a hotel first if going straight to the office makes more sense — tell us the interview address when you book and we'll take you there directly, luggage included. If you'd rather freshen up or change first, factor that stop into your buffer explicitly rather than assuming it'll happen automatically along the way.
Getting a receipt for a reimbursing employer
If a prospective employer, recruiter or agency is covering your travel, every trip comes with a receipt showing the price and the VAT line, made out to you or, where applicable, to a company — useful for submitting an expense claim without chasing anything down afterward.
It's worth checking in advance what your specific reimbursement process needs — some want the receipt emailed directly, others attached to a claim form — so you're not scrambling for it once you're back home and focused on how the interview went.

Questions people ask before booking
Can I go straight from Arlanda to the interview address with my luggage?
Yes — tell us the address when you book and your driver takes you there directly, no need to detour via a hotel first unless you want to.
What if my flight is delayed and I'm worried about being late?
Flight tracking keeps your pickup accurate to your actual landing time. Build real buffer into your overall plan for the same reason you would for any tight same-day arrival, and consider flying the evening before if the schedule allows it.
Do I get a receipt for a company or recruiter to reimburse?
Yes — every trip comes with a receipt showing the price and VAT line, which can be made out to you or to a company as needed.
Should I book a return transfer for after the interview too?
You can — book it as a separate leg with its own time, since it's a different booking with its own cancellation window from the arrival trip.
What if the interview gets rescheduled after I've already booked?
Cancel more than 12 hours before pickup for a full refund, or contact us and we'll help you adjust the booking to the new plan.
