Landvetter handles some late evening flights, particularly from European hubs. If your flight arrives late, here is what to expect.
Flygbussarna last service
Flygbussarna schedules its last departures to match the final arriving flights of the day. This typically means the last bus leaves around midnight to 1 AM, but it varies by day and season. Always check flygbussarna.se for the exact schedule on your travel date.
If your flight is delayed and you miss the last bus, you will need a taxi or pre-booked transfer.
Transport options after the last bus
| Option | Available? | Price to city center | Notes | |--------|-----------|---------------------|-------| | Flygbussarna | Check schedule | SEK 119–139 (EUR 10–12) | Usually runs until last flight | | Taxi | Yes | SEK 500–700 (EUR 44–61) | Available 24/7, no significant surcharge | | Pre-booked transfer | Yes | SEK 550–800 (EUR 48–70) | Driver waiting regardless of delays | | Public bus | No | N/A | No night service |
Taxi availability at night
Taxis are available at the rank outside arrivals around the clock. However, if a large flight has just landed and the last Flygbussarna has already departed, there may be a queue. Wait times of 10–20 minutes are possible.
Most Gothenburg taxi companies do not apply a significant late-night surcharge, though rates may be marginally higher after midnight. The fare to central Gothenburg remains approximately SEK 500–700.
Safety at Landvetter at night
Sweden is one of the safest countries in Europe and Landvetter Airport is no exception. The terminal, taxi rank, and surrounding area are well-lit and safe at all hours. There are no safety concerns about waiting for transport at night.
The airport terminal remains accessible for passengers with arriving flights. If you have a very early morning departure, the Landvetter Airport Hotel is connected to the terminal and available for overnight stays.
The drive at night
The E20 motorway between Landvetter and Gothenburg is a well-maintained highway. At night, with no traffic, the drive takes about 20–25 minutes — slightly faster than during the day. Road conditions are good year-round, though winter months may bring snow and ice.
Recommended approach
If your flight is scheduled to arrive before the last Flygbussarna departure, the bus is still the best value option. If you are cutting it close or arriving genuinely late, pre-book a transfer. The peace of mind of having a driver guaranteed to wait — especially if your flight is delayed — is worth the premium over hoping for a taxi at the rank.
