See when flights to Sweden cost the most—and when you’ll find the best deals for your Nordic trip.

Most Expensive Times to Fly to Sweden

These are the periods when airfare to Sweden tends to climb—thanks to high demand, excellent weather, major events and peak holiday travel.

May to June (late spring into early summer):
Data shows average round‑trip fares from the U.S. rise to around US $1,206 in May and US $1,150 in June.
June to August (summer peak travel):
Warm weather, long daylight hours and peak tourism in Stockholm, Gothenburg and the northern regions lead to increased demand for flights—driving prices higher.
Late December (Christmas/New Year holiday window):
Though not as explicitly quantified in the source data, winter holiday travel to Sweden—including Northern Lights seekers—tends to push fares upward, narrowing the “cheap” windows.

These windows typically offer the best opportunity for lower airfare—thanks to softer demand and fewer holiday travellers.

November (late autumn off‑peak):
One source lists November as the cheapest month for U.S.–Sweden round‑trip flights, at around US $566.
January to February (post‑holiday winter):
After the holiday travel rush, early‑year travel often sees better fares. Shoulders to spring offer strong value.
September to early October (autumn shoulder):
As summer demand diminishes and before winter peaks, this period can yield better flight deals—even with moderate weather and fewer crowds.
