Landside facilities include a cafe and a newsstand, and an eatery and a duty-free shop comprise the airside options, though travellers warn of expensive prices.

Sleeping in Skavsta Airport
Overnight sleepers are common here, though they are restricted to the landside area once security checkpoints close for the night. The few benches fill up quickly, so arrive early or sleep on the cold floor with a sleeping bag or travel mat. Some travellers have luck resting in the children’s play area or on furniture inside the closed cafe. Bring a sweater or extra blanket to combat chilly temps. For uninterrupted sleep, a budget hotel is located just beyond the terminal. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
