Traveling from US to UK with layover in Stockholm

Assuming both flights are part of the same ticket, heading to Europe customs and Immigration will in the UK as they are not part of the Schengen zone.

Back to the US, immigration will be Copenhagen. The Paris to CPH flight is "domestic" as both countries are part of Schengen.

Hello cg84455. In your 2.5 hour layover at the Stockholm airport, you will not have time for going away from that airport. Stockholm's airport is located at a long distance from the city Stockholm. What is the number of hours of your layover at the Copenhagen airport ?

I have about 3 hours for the layover on my flight back to the US. The flights are all with the same company and I booked directly on their website.

If you have done both trips as through bookings, you will not have to check in again.
Stockholm - London you can stay 'airside', i.e. no customs or immigration until you reach London.
But Paris - Copenhagen are both within the Schengen area, this is a 'Schengen internal' flight, so no passport control leaving Paris. This will happen leaving Copenhagen.

You also go through passport control (but not customs) when you travel from London to Paris.

Okay thank you very much!

And don't forget that Sweden is not on the Euro. So if you get hungry or want a cup of coffee during your layover at Arlanda (which is a lovely terminal) you'll need yet another currency in your pocket. I learned that one the hard way!

Oh okay, thanks! Yeah that wasn't even on my mind but good to know!

...or you can just use a credit card.

If you do think you'll use a credit card during the Stockholm layover, be sure to add Sweden to your itinerary on your travel notice to the credit card company(ies) before you leave home!

Okay thanks! I was wondering about CC but I will add it to my bank's list.

We connected through Stockholm on our way to Edinburgh on SAS (from O'Hare). I don't recall that we went through immigration, but as we got off the plane, we took a left and went through a small security area. Since both the inbound and outbound flights were on SAS, no terminal change.

We did buy a cup of coffee and was glad I advised Chase of the stopover in Sweden on the way there and Canada on the way back.

I'll be flying with SAS as well. Did you enjoy your flights?

We loved our flight on SAS from Chicago to Stockholm in August 2013. We upgraded to Premium Economy, and it was well worth it. I'm tall and need the extra legroom. The upgrade got us into the SAS lounge at ORD, which was welcome on our long layover from Portland. Coach class on the SAS A330 was full, but we had the entire Premium Economy cabin nearly to ourselves. Food and service were outstanding.

One thing that we noticed at Arlanda ... gate assignments for connecting flights are not posted until the airplane actually taxis in. It's a big terminal with several different wings and a long walk from one end to the other. We had no idea where to meet our connecting Lufthansa flight to Munich, and no airport or airline personnel could tell us. Unlike US procedure, where gates are usually announced hours in advance (subject to change, of course), the gates are not pre-assigned, but determined by Air Traffic Control when the airplane arrives. Gates are not dedicated to specific carriers. Finally the gate was posted just before boarding, and everybody hustled over to that gate.

Thanks for sharing the info/pictures! I'm quite small (5'2, 115 lbs) so I fit pretty easily into airplane seats.
