When does security open at Arlanda?
Opening and closing times of security in both terminals and how early flights are handled.
Short answer
Security at Arlanda opens at 03:45 in Terminal 5 and at 04:30 in Terminal 2, and for flights before 05:00 it opens two hours before departure. Swedavia lists closing times of 22:00 in Terminal 5 and 21:00 in Terminal 2. Opening hours can change, so check Swedavia's security page before you travel.
Why
- Swedavia lists Terminal 5 (New 5F) security as open daily 03:45–22:00.
- Swedavia lists Terminal 2 security as open daily 04:30–21:00.
- Swedavia says that for flights leaving before 05:00 the security checkpoint opens two hours before departure.
Details
Swedavia says the 100 ml limit for liquids applies at all Arlanda security controls, and that Terminal 5 lets you keep liquids in hand baggage with no one-litre bag. For an early flight, see which hotel is closest to Terminal 5 and Arlanda and its alternatives.
Tip
Remember that opening hours are for the security checkpoint, not for check-in: your airline sets its own check-in times, shown under Departures on Swedavia's website.
What may differ
The hours above are the schedule Swedavia lists on its security page. Swedavia says the shops and restaurants have irregular hours throughout the holidays, so check before an early flight.
Common misconception
Security opens at the same time in every Arlanda terminal.
What actually happens
Swedavia lists different hours: 03:45–22:00 in Terminal 5 and 04:30–21:00 in Terminal 2.
