Buying a flight to Stockholm?
When buying a flight make sure to buy the best time range you can get.
In particular, when purchasing your flight return ticket, always consider any delays with train schedule from Lapland back to Stockholm and the time needed to get from Stockholm train station to the airport (+ all check-in procedures) on the last day. Train timetable will be communicated directly via email ahead of time.
Recommendations of websites to buy cheap tickets:
- Skyscanner
- Hopper

We suggest to use these platforms to compare prices and then book directly on the airline website (ex: Ryanair, EasyJet, Vueling, etc).
