The following airlines operate regular services between Chennai and Stockholm. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Food to try

Try Swedish meatballs (köttbullar) with mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberry jam. Sample fresh seafood like herring (strömming) prepared in various ways. Fika, the Swedish coffee break, is a must; enjoy coffee with pastries like cinnamon buns (kanelbullar).

Local tips

Card payments are widely accepted in Stockholm, so carrying large amounts of cash is unnecessary. Learn a few basic Swedish phrases; locals appreciate the effort even if they speak English fluently. Public restrooms often require payment.
