Arrival Day #
Please note that these instructions apply to the Spring 2025 semester only.
In November, the Swedish Program sent you a Swedish flag luggage tag via postal mail. We encourage you to attach the tag to your backpack or bag to make it easier for other students and Swedish Program staff to identify you on Arrival Day.
7:00 AM–3:00 PM: Arrival at Arlanda Airport #
We will arrange a prepaid taxi from the company Taxi Stockholm to pick you up at Arlanda Airport and drop you off at the student housing complex (Bromstensvägen 152, 163 55 Spånga). You do not need to pay anything for the ride and tipping is not required. Swedish Program staff will be at the airport to offer assistance until 3:00 PM.

Finding Your Driver #
After you land and collect your baggage, exit to the Arrivals Hall in the same terminal. Your Taxi Stockholm driver will be waiting inside the Arrivals Hall holding a sign with your name on it. Please note that Taxi Stockholm will track the flight number you provided and dispatch a driver to the Arrivals Hall in your terminal approximately 20–30 minutes after your flight lands. The driver may contact you at the phone number you provided during registration.
If you have trouble finding your Taxi Stockholm driver, email [email protected] with your location in the airport and a staff member will come to assist you as soon as possible. Arlanda Airport provides free WiFi.
Do not leave with a random taxi driver who doesn’t have your name and destination address. If you leave with another driver, you will be responsible for the cost of the ride.
Travel Delays #
Delays are common and no cause for panic. If your flight is delayed, don’t worry – Swedish Program staff will track the flight number you provided, and Taxi Stockholm will not dispatch a driver to pick you up until your flight actually lands. However, if you are rebooked onto a different flight (e.g., if you miss your flight or it gets canceled), please send your new flight number and arrival time to [email protected] as soon as possible so that we can arrange a new booking with Taxi Stockholm.
8:00AM–5:00PM: Apartment Move-In #
Between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, staff will meet students at the main reception area of the apartment complex (Bromstensvägen 152, 163 55 Spånga). Make sure to download and activate the Boxxy App (Apartment Keys) on your phone so that you can enter the complex. Staff will provide your apartment key and show you to your apartment.
After settling in, we recommend taking a walk and grabbing a few groceries at the nearby Coop grocery store. Fresh air and daylight are essential to overcoming jet lag!
Late Arrivals #
If you get to the apartment complex after 5:00 PM, staff will send you an email with instructions for retrieving your keys. Make sure to download and activate the Boxxy App (Apartment Keys) on your phone so that you can enter the apartment complex. When you get to your apartment, please email [email protected] to confirm that you have arrived safely.
5:15 PM: Neighborhood Tour & Dinner #
Staff will meet students in the reception area of Bromstensvägen 152 and lead a brief neighborhood tour followed by dinner at a nearby restaurant. We strongly encourage students to attend these activities, but we understand that sometimes students don’t feel well after a long day of travel. If you decide not to attend the tour and/or dinner, please inform staff at [email protected] so that we know that you are accounted for.
