Löwenströmska Hospital to Arlanda: Going Home After Surgery

Updated 3 min read

Flying home after a stay at Löwenströmska hospital is a different kind of trip from an ordinary departure — you may be moving more slowly than usual, unable to manage your own luggage, or simply not wanting to stand and wait anywhere longer than necessary. The last thing that leg of the journey should add is uncertainty about the car itself.

This is about booking that specific trip properly: what to tell us in advance, what a flexible pickup time can do for a discharge that might move, and what's worth arranging separately with your airline.

Booking with mobility needs in mind

Tell us at booking about any mobility or accessibility needs so we can send a suitable vehicle — that might mean easier entry and exit, or simply a driver briefed to allow more time and to help without you having to ask. This is read before the trip, not worked out on arrival, so it's worth being specific in the notes rather than general.

If you'd like help with your bags at the hospital entrance, mention that too — it's a reasonable thing to ask for and easier for the driver to plan for when it's flagged in advance.

A pickup time that can flex with discharge

Hospital discharge times move, often later than planned, and a departure that's been booked around a fixed pickup time doesn't have to feel rigid because of it. If your discharge slips, contact us as early as you can — changing the pickup time on the same day is free, subject to a car being available, and it's a far better option than trying to rush a discharge that isn't ready.

If your flight itself needs to change because of a delayed discharge, that's between you and the airline; our part is making sure the transfer to the airport still lines up with whatever your actual departure ends up being.

Airport assistance is a separate booking

Wheelchair or mobility assistance inside the terminal — at check-in, through security, to the gate — is arranged with your airline or the airport directly, not with us; that's worth booking as early as you can once your flight is confirmed, since it's a separate process from the transfer itself. Our part is getting you comfortably from the hospital door to the terminal; the airline's assistance service takes over from there.

If your plans change again

If discharge is delayed by more than a day, or your flight is rebooked entirely, cancelling more than 12 hours before your original pickup time is free and refunded in full — there's no penalty for a recovery that doesn't go exactly to schedule.

Questions people ask before booking

Can I ask for help getting to the car after being discharged?

Yes — mention it in your booking notes and we plan the driver's time around it, rather than you having to explain it on the day.

What if my discharge is delayed and I miss the pickup time I booked?

Contact us as early as you can — moving the pickup time on the same day is free, subject to a car being available.

Can you arrange wheelchair assistance inside the airport terminal?

No, that's arranged with your airline or the airport directly, and it's worth booking as early as possible once your flight is confirmed. We handle the transfer to the terminal itself, with any mobility needs noted at booking.

Is there an extra charge for a vehicle suited to mobility needs?

Mentioning mobility needs doesn't add a separate charge — the price is set by the route and the vehicle category, shown before you pay, and the note is simply how we make sure a suitable vehicle is sent.

What if my flight has to be cancelled because of the delay?

Cancelling more than 12 hours before your booked pickup time is free and refunded in full, whatever the reason for the change.
