Märsta to Arlanda: Timing the Short Run for an Early Flight

For an early flight, start from your airline's check-in close time and work backwards through security and bag drop, rather than starting from the drive time and adding a little. The drive from Märsta is short enough that it barely moves the needle — the margin you actually need is for the terminal side of the trip, and a pickup that only accounts for the drive leaves you short exactly where it matters.

Märsta has a mix of villa streets and apartment blocks, and the pickup point that works best differs between them — a villa address usually just needs the house number and any landmark, while an apartment building often needs the entrance number or a code to get in. Put whichever applies in your booking notes so the driver isn't guessing which door on the street is yours.

• Villa: house number plus any landmark that helps in the dark or in poor weather
• Apartment: entrance number, floor, or door code if the building has one
• Either way: a specific meeting point if the street itself is hard to stop on

Give us your flight number when you book. For a departure, we don't move your pickup automatically — you set that time yourself around your own plans — but the flight number lets us help you rearrange quickly if your departure changes or is cancelled, without you having to explain the situation from scratch.

Your driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent before pickup, so you know exactly who's arriving on a short-notice early morning rather than working it out from a car pulling up outside.
