What DUB to ARN looks like
The DUB to ARN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Dublin DUB to Stockholm ARN is a medium haul sector of 1,625 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,625 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 35m.
Dublin DUB is a major hub in the network held here, 198 scheduled destinations and 462.1 departures a day. Stockholm ARN has 160 destinations and 329.4 departures a day.
Stockholm is one hour ahead of Dublin all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on DUB to ARN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| DUB to ARN | 2.14 | 15 | Ryanair, SAS |
| ARN to DUB | 2.14 | 15 | Ryanair, SAS |
Two carriers hold the sector, Ryanair and SAS, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 30 departures a week on DUB to ARN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 35m block time on DUB to ARN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to DUB | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At DUB before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| DUB to ARN in the air, estimated | 155 min | 7h 05m |
| Formalities at ARN | 90 min | 8h 35m |
| Delivery run in Stockholm | 45 min | 9h 20m |
| Door to door | 560 min | 9h 20m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for DUB to ARN is 9h 20m.
A courier who leaves Dublin at 09:00 local is on the ground in Stockholm at about 12:35 local and at the door by 14:50 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Stockholm, the last useful departure from Dublin is around 12:10 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 84 of them join DUB to ARN.
| Connecting at | DUB to hub, flights a day | Hub to ARN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bergen BGO | 0.71 | 3.14 | 1,741 | 4h 22m |
| Edinburgh EDI | 24.14 | 1.86 | 1,657 | 4h 26m |
| Oslo OSL | 2.43 | 18 | 1,677 | 4h 28m |
| Copenhagen CPH | 4.14 | 21.29 | 1,789 | 4h 38m |
| Hamburg HAM | 2.14 | 3 | 1,899 | 4h 40m |
| Manchester MAN | 22.14 | 1.43 | 1,680 | 4h 41m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at DUB in the afternoon actually flies on.
84 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Bergen BGO, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through BGO the routing covers 1,741 km against the 1,625 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 22m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 47m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Edinburgh EDI at 4h 26m and Oslo OSL at 4h 28m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Dublin, Belfast BFS is 137 km away by great circle and carries 47 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Stockholm ARN is shut to scheduled movements between 22:00 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Dublin late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Stockholm ARN, night restrictions: Night movements are restricted between 22:00 and 06:00 local with exemptions.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Dublin later than about 18:25 local arrives at ARN after it has closed for the night, on the 2h 35m block time above.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for DUB to ARN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
