We were at ARN a few times flying in and out for Oslo, Helsinki, Copenhagen flights, and when…read moreyou're flying direct which no baggage ARN is great. Arlanda terminal 5 is incredibly easy to get dropped off at. The kiosk is right next to the door. You print out your ticket and especially if you have no checked baggage, it's an incredibly quick process to get to your gate. But if you have a connecting flight on a separate airline ARN is a very difficult airport to fly out of. The kiosks won't take your confirmation number and you won't have your ticket number, so you'll have to use your passport and if you have multiple people in your party, you can't add them in at the kiosk, you have to go though the process one by one, for every single passenger, filling out all the documents as you go. Each person takes about 4-5 minutes to check in. They do have a checked bag drop but it's entirely, and I mean entirely, self service. You put your bag tags on, load the luggage on the belt, and scan the baggage yourself. I'd never seen anything like it and I would advise adding in a solid hour of time if you're checking baggage and flying out, especially for multiple people. All in all, the shops at ARN and the terminal itself were quite nice, it's primarily just their baggage process that's not great.

This was one of the smoothest, easiest airports I've ever been through! From the moment we got…read morethere, everything just felt super straightforward. I had zero trouble getting around the layout is really easy to follow, and nothing felt confusing or overwhelming, which is a BIG plus when you're traveling. Lowkey I was excited to get my passport stamped but unfortunately they didn't stamp it lol not a dealbreaker, just something I was looking forward to. Getting in and out of the airport was super convenient. The taxi and Uber pick-up area is literally right when you walk out, so you're not wandering around trying to figure out where to go. Huge win. Baggage claim was also super quick and easy no long waits, no chaos, just grab your stuff and go. And when it was time to head back home, the process was just as smooth. TSA/security was actually really nice and friendly, which you don't always get at airports, so that definitely stood out. Overall, this airport made traveling feel stress-free. Everything was efficient, clean, and well-organized. Easily one of the best airport experiences I've had!

Aurora is a blight on an otherwise great and underrated city. I'm sad this is the last thing I'll…read moresee in Stockholm. The worst lounge I've ever had the misfortune of visiting. My flight got switched and I stayed here because I was early for the next one out. Was greeted by someone who looked at my pass and gave me the third degree about being here too early. Trust me, honey: being stuck at Arlanda airport at the crack of dawn, lugging my oversized bags on two hours' sleep after a late taxi and a midwinter snowstorm, was not in today's master plan. Lucky for this reviewer, reception was accommodating, so long as I didn't stay longer than 3 hours. She promised to let me know when it was time to gtfo. Overall impression: dingy, dirty, dorm room decor that looks cute from about a mile away, but is shabby and uncomfortable. Upon entry, it feels like a scam: like Donald Trump evicted some cute, little old lady from her home, demolished it, then put up a sleazy casino overnight using cheap labor and bad contracting. Nobody got paid. At the table adjacent to me, men descended from Vikings try to sit comfortably in furniture made for dolls. Their knees bump the table while they attempt to conduct business in a dignified manor. Their burly fingers get stuck in the handle of cheap IKEA coffee cups. A shitty plywood table becomes the thin veneer between chaos and civilization. They're just one indignity away from burning and pillaging this place to the ground. A part of me wishes they would. Food was downright terrible, with a breakfast consisting of processed cheese and school lunch meat. Worn carpet and crumbs everywhere create for an unappetizing environment. Sorta-clean utensils and plates and cups make you want to close your eyes, look the other way, and hope your travel vaccinations are still good. The biggest mystery of my visit was the orange juice -- possibly the worst I've ever tasted. It looks like OJ, but it's so completely watered down that it tastes almost entirely like water. Barely even a hint of acidity. It's possible they added coloring because I have no idea how something can look that orange, yet taste like just like water. Used the espresso machine and as the shot was poured, swore I saw something dirty and questionable. I decided to believe it was my imagination, or fool myself into thinking that the steam would magically kill off whatever germs were still in the cup. It wasn't fantastic coffee, but not undrinkable. The only pleasant surprise of this stay. Too bad the machine was coated in sticky milk and hadn't been cleaned since the Middle Ages. Odd chirping and cicada-like sounds coming through the sound system. I think they're intentionally piped in to add some special "nature" effects to the living wall. They might have contributed to the atmosphere in a comfy setting. However, since I'm currently seated in furniture designed for a minimum security prison, starting to feel a little paranoid. This might be an experiment in insanity. I'm afraid to go into the bathrooms. Sam and Frodo came back from Mordor once, and I'm not confident anyone can twice cheat the odds. If you're reading this please send help, a croissant, or a message in a bottle.

I pre-googled that this lounge accepted Star Alliance Gold and up…read more So I was surprised when they said no, it didn't qualify, which was quickly changed to, well I mean you can try. And low and behold our ticket tap was accepted, so yes. Even if it's not listed on the door, this location accepts Star Alliance Gold. The space itself nice but oddly designed, with strange nooks, stairs, and odd angles. We were able to find some seats with plugs, but they're European plugs, so I always recommend those who are visiting the Nordic countries buy a charging adaptor, since the hotels and lounges here don't tend to have usb plug stations. All that being said, I did enjoy they the plain head lettuce leaves and bacon slices so all in all I would consider this a fairly good lounge, even if it could use a renovation.

The lounge experiences are a bit different depending on the side you come in. I opted for the right side, which was smaller but focused on a smaller dining area with more limited seating. There were beers on tap in this section, and unknown red and white wine on tap. The other side was a lot larger and spacious and had a larger dining area with lots of wines available and plentiful seating. I had breakfast here, which offered scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt, cold plates, pancakes and oatmeal. Everything was tasty, though my only complaint was that the scrambled eggs were very salty. Restroom facilities are clean, which offer individual-stall rooms. They offer Skandinavisk brand hand soap, Skog ("Forest") which was quite pleasant to smell. If I'm back in Arlanda, I wouldn't mind stopping by here again to grab a bite to eat and to unwind a bit before my flight.

There are plenty of seats, grouped in small conversation sets, decent Wi-Fi, and power outlets throughout. However, unless you have an adaptor you're out of luck if you need to charge a device. Food was underwhelming: a basic buffet with cold cuts, bread, some salads and pastries. Coffee and tea available all day. Soda, beer and wine available, as well. Staff were polite but not especially attentive. No showers, and the bathrooms could've used a refresh. Worth it if you have free access (Priority Pass, LoungeKey, etc.), but not worth paying for. Great for a coffee and a quiet seat, but don't expect luxury.

You get to dine in as well, which was leisurely great! If you are not too hungry for a buffet, they do offer quiches, sandwiches, beverages and the usual cafe items at the front!

Unfortunately I am not this time (work trip) and I am desperately trying to find lunch before my no-service flight begins in 30 min. Tired of the cafeteria across the hall (you all know which one I am talking about) my eyes get stuck at the shrimp salad at Casa Bacardi. There is not much else on the menu here which is a pity, but I later understand these people don't have their own kitchen in this space. I order the salad at the bar (no table service) and the barista asks if I need help to carry the plate to my table. Very nice! The salad is really good and I wish they would have a larger menu (again) to have the opportunity to eat other dishes here - I am sure they would also be good. Next time I hope I am here before going on vacation and then I will try one of their many rum drinks!
