Amenities and tips
AGH
Single compact terminalTake Off café (airside)P1/P2/P3 parking + 20 EV chargersFree terminal Wi-FiNo passenger lounge product
Build around a thin SAS timetable — not a hub bank
Compact screening, but the building opens only 75 minutes before the first flight — match your arrival to the SAS bank, not a 24/7 hub clock.
One hall — the real risk is packing the wrong Skåne airport
Single tiny terminal; navigation is trivial — airport mix-ups with MMX / CPH are the failure mode, not long walks.
Eat before security if Take Off is dark on the first wave
One airside café; confirm morning opening or eat landside/town first — especially on the earliest SAS departure.

Arrive 90 minutes early, not 3 hours
For most flights, 90 minutes before departure is enough; queues spike only on early Ryanair/Wizz banks and summer charter mornings.
Treat it as one room with two gate zones
Everything after security is one continuous airside hall; Schengen and non-Schengen gates sit in the same building with short walks.
Eat before security if you want a real meal
Landside café options are more reliable than the limited airside selection, especially early morning and late evening.
AGH · Northwest Skåne’s municipal domestic gateway: 168,501 passengers in 2025 (Transportstyrelsen), a single tiny terminal, SAS to Arlanda, and no lounge — taxi or your own car, because there is still no official airport coach.
MMX · A compact, calm single-terminal alternative to CPH that wins on speed and simplicity for Skåne trips, at the cost of thin airside food and no operating lounge. Swedavia counted 855,483 passengers in 2025 — far below the old ~1.8M guess.
