  - >-

    the city
  - 'Main carriers: SAS, Ryanair, Norwegian, Widerøe, Eurowings, Wizz Air'

bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: 'Clear security before 06:30 or after 09:00'
    detail: >-
      SAS and Norwegian bank early departures — arrive 90 minutes before if
      flying then; 60 minutes is usually enough later in the day.
    summary: >-
      Weekday mornings 06:00–08:30 are the only reliably busy window; otherwise
      screening is often under 10 minutes.
    category: timing
  - label: Layout
    title: 'One terminal, two piers — check your gate letter early'
    detail: >-
      After security you are airside in one continuous area until passport
      control for non-Schengen — do not exit if you have a connection.
    summary: >-
      Gates are split Schengen (mostly A/B side) vs non-Schengen; walking
      between far gates still takes under 10 minutes.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Eat before security or use the SAS Lounge
    detail: >-
      If you have Priority Pass or SAS access, lounge food beats the gate-area
      cafés for both quality and calm.
    summary: >-
      Airside food is limited and pricey; the best sit-down options and coffee
      are landside or inside lounges.
    category: food
  - label: Live checks
    title: Use the Swedavia app for gates and security wait
    detail: >-
      Screens in the terminal lag during irregular ops — refresh the app before
      leaving the lounge or café.
    summary: >-
      Gate assignments and real-time security queue estimates are more reliable
      in the official Swedavia app than on third-party trackers.
