Is the Arlanda Express included in an SAS ticket?
What the Arlanda Express price list and Swedavia say about airline tickets.
Short answer
Arlanda Express sells its own train tickets, and its price list, its ticket terms and Swedavia's train page mention no SAS or other airline ticket that includes the ride. An adult one-way Full flex ticket costs SEK 349, and the only free Arlanda Express trip Swedavia lists is the transfer between Terminal 2 and Terminal 5.
Why
- Arlanda Express lists Full flex and Early bird train tickets and Travel Passes in its price list, and mentions no airline ticket that includes the ride.
- Arlanda Express states in its ticket terms that the service is operated by A-Train AB, and the terms do not mention SAS or other airline tickets.
- Swedavia states that Arlanda Express tickets are sold at counters and machines at Stockholm Central, at machines at the airport and in the Arlanda Express app, and that the transfer between Terminal 2 and Terminal 5 is free.
Details
Norwegian lists Arlanda Express among its airport services and says tickets bought there are non-refundable, which shows that an airline can offer the train as a separate purchase. Only the airline or travel agency that sold your flight can say what your ticket includes, so check the booking confirmation. For prices, see Arlanda and its alternatives, and for hotels near the airport see which hotels are at Arlanda airport.
Tip
Read your booking confirmation or ask your airline before you rely on a free train ride, and compare the Early bird fare of SEK 199 if you can book five days ahead.
What may differ
What a flight ticket includes depends on the airline, the fare and any package booked through a travel agency, so the answer for your journey is in your own booking.
Common misconception
The Arlanda Express is free for every air passenger.
What actually happens
Swedavia lists only the transfer between Terminal 2 and Terminal 5 as a free Arlanda Express trip; the fare from Stockholm is priced as shown on the Arlanda Express price list.
