Fine with where you land if it helps you spend less? Add your departure point, enter 'Sweden' in the 'To' field and discover which cities are the cheapest options.
If you've already decided on your destination city, select 'Add nearby airports.' This lets you compare prices for nearby airports and potentially lower your costs.

The best time to go to Sweden
Use the 'Whole month' tool if you have flexible travel dates. Browse fares for an entire month and find a flight that fits your budget and schedule.
September is the busiest time to travel. Go then if you want that peak season buzz, but maybe look elsewhere if you're hoping for a deal.
January is the quietest time of year to travel if you want a more laid-back vibe. There's also a good chance you'll find cheaper prices on plane tickets to Sweden then.
Consider how you like to travel and let the weather guide you. July is one of the warmest months in Sweden, with highs averaging 20ºC.
Plan your trip for sometime around January if you prefer cooler conditions. The lowest average temperature then is -7ºC.
April tends to be the driest, while December has the most rain.
Also take into account winter snow and ice season and severe storm periods when picking your travel dates. Of course, weather risks depend on where you go and the timing of your trip.
