Best: private jet
Shortest: private jet
Cheapest: walking.

Alternatives: Fly with http://www.norwegian.no, http://www.britishairways.com, http://www.condor.com, http://www.finnair.com, http://www.ryanair.com, http://www.flysas.com depending on which London airport you're leaving from (Pick from Luton, Stansted, Heathrow, Gatwick, City) and to which Stockholm airport you want to fly to (there's the main one Arlanda, or Skavsta, Vasteras and Bromma may be suitable alternatives). With all airports, check how far they are from where you actually intend to go.

If you don't like flying. train/ferry it. I'm too lazy to describe how, simply refer to http://www.seat61.com/Sweden.htm

Hi....

Some dates would be helpful.
Budget airline Ryanair have flights from London Stansted to Stockholm Skvasta, for €27 one way.
Mind you (without looking), knowing Ryanair's reputation - Skvasta might be 500kms from Stockholm.
Norwegian do flights from LGW and BA offer more expensive fares from LHR (all direct).
Spoilt for choice really.

Flying will probably be your cheapest option, I agree.
Norwegian I will agree are great. Use a flight comparison sight and have a quick look, you should be able to get yourself really cheap flights if you've got a little bit of time to quickly see for yourself who will be cheapest.

Ha-ha.... Good guess though, considering I hadn't looked.
So can a place that's about 70 miles from another place, still be called that place?
I know we've all laughed about it in the past, but it's just like saying London Airport Dover.
It's so naughty ! !

I know. It's one of Dave the Rave's favourite locations.
He was caught a few months back taking his private jet from LHR to there.
Just a few weeks after saying.... 'We're all in this together'.

#5, Takes about 1 hour on the bus from the airport, about the same time as Epping to White City on the central line... Nice scenic ride as well...

Go to the top of the page, to just underneath 'London to Stockholm', select 'Any branch'.
Then scroll down to 'Europe, Scandinavia & The Nordics', select 'Sweden', then 'Post new topic'.
Copy and paste your enquiry.
