Are you staying in Tunis, Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir or on Djerba? The best airport is not the same one in every case. Direct flights can also be seasonal, so it pays to compare several dates, airports and connections before you decide.
Below we go through what matters most before a flight from Sweden to Tunisia.
Which airport in Tunisia should you choose?
Tunisia has several international airports. The right choice depends above all on where you are staying.
| Airport | Code | Usually best for |
|---|---|---|
| Tunis–Carthage | TUN | Tunis, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and northern Tunisia |
| Enfidha–Hammamet | NBE | Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet and parts of the coast |
| Monastir Habib Bourguiba | MIR | Monastir, Sousse and Mahdia |
| Djerba–Zarzis | DJE | Djerba, Zarzis and southern Tunisia |
Tunis–Carthage is the natural choice for the capital and the areas around Tunis. For a holiday in Hammamet, Enfidha can be more convenient, while Monastir often works well for Monastir, Sousse and the nearby resorts.
If you are heading for Djerba, look for flights to Djerba–Zarzis first. Flying into Tunis and continuing overland to Djerba means a considerably longer journey.
Still, compare several airports. A cheaper flight is not always the better option if it adds hours on the road or an expensive transfer.
Are there direct flights from Sweden to Tunisia?
Direct routes between Sweden and Tunisia have varied over the years and can be seasonal. When this guide was updated in August 2026, the current timetables showed no scheduled direct flight between Stockholm Arlanda and Tunis–Carthage. Travellers therefore usually had to expect at least one connection.

The supply can change at short notice. Charter flights and seasonal routes may also exist without being available all year.
Common connections to Tunisia go through larger European airports. Which one suits you best depends on your travel dates, layover time, baggage and the Tunisian airport you choose.
Always check the current itinerary before you book.
Compare more than the ticket price
The cheapest result on screen is not necessarily the cheapest trip overall. Also look at:
- Baggage included
- The length of the layover
- Any airport change along the way
- Arrival time in Tunisia
- The cost of the transfer to your hotel
- Change and cancellation rules
- Whether the whole trip is on one booking
A cheap ticket with a long wait, a separate baggage fee and a late arrival can look less attractive once every cost is added up.
If the trip involves separate tickets or your own transfer between flights, you may also have to collect and check in your baggage again. Check this carefully and leave enough time between flights.
Use several search tabs when you compare
One simple way to find a better option is to compare several searches side by side.
On Holidair you can, for example, open separate search tabs for:
- Stockholm to Tunis
- Stockholm to Enfidha
- Stockholm to Monastir
- Gothenburg to Tunis
- The same trip on alternative dates
You can then switch between the searches without starting over every time. That makes it easier to compare price, travel time and airport before you decide.

Try nearby dates
Airfares change with the day of the week, demand and availability. If your dates are flexible, it is worth searching one or two days earlier and later.
For summer travel, school holidays and major public holidays it is often wise to start comparing early. That does not mean there is one day that is always cheapest. Prices follow availability and can go both up and down.
So compare the real options for your dates instead of relying on a general booking rule.
Passport and entry for Swedish travellers
According to the Embassy of Sweden in Tunisia, Swedish tourists normally receive a free entry stamp on arrival that allows a stay of up to 90 days.
Since 1 January 2025, a Swedish passport needs to be valid for at least three months from the date of entry.
These rules apply to Swedish citizens. If you travel on another passport, check the entry requirements that apply to your own nationality with the Tunisian authorities or your own country's foreign ministry.
Entry rules can change. Always check the latest information with the Tunisian authorities or the Embassy of Sweden in Tunisia before departure.
It is also worth reading the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs' current travel information for Tunisia.
Plan the transfer before you land
The distance between the airport and the hotel varies a lot depending on which airport you choose.
So check:
- How far the hotel is from the airport
- Whether the hotel offers a pick-up
- The approximate travel time
- Whether you land late in the evening
- How many people and bags you are travelling with
- Whether a child seat is needed
A pre-booked transfer can be practical when you want the ride arranged before arrival, especially for a late landing or when several people travel together.

Check roaming before you travel
Tunisia is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the EU rules on roaming at domestic prices do not automatically apply there. The cost depends on your Swedish mobile plan and operator.
Check roaming prices before you travel and switch off data roaming if your plan has high fees. A travel eSIM can be an option if you want mobile data sorted before departure.
The EU's official roaming information explains that the rules on roaming without extra charges apply to travel within the EU.

Checklist before booking
Before you book a flight from Sweden to Tunisia, check:
- Which Tunisian airport is closest to your stay
- Total travel time, not just flight time
- How long the layover is
- Whether baggage is included
- Whether the tickets are on the same booking
- The cost from the airport to your accommodation
- Your passport validity
- Current travel information
- Roaming or eSIM
- Change and cancellation rules
A few extra minutes of comparing can make the rest of the trip much easier.
Start by comparing your options
Search several airports and dates before you choose. With Holidair's search tabs you can keep different flight searches open, switch between them and compare the options at your own pace.
