Hello surveyholics! I'm new here&love filling in surveys, writing reviews and answering questionnaires. I'm an art student from Finland in the UK and practically a professional when it comes to dying (my) hair... as you can see in the pic. Cheers!

I would rather slap myself in the face with anything dead than go through Skavsta airport again. Never have I been treated so horribly at an airport than I was at Skavsta. I still feel like going there and pooping on the steps of that tiny building.
I've been flying around Europe and North America several times, but I cannot remember being treated so badly anywhere else. This unfortunate event took place during july 2003 (I think) and it surely shook me to the core. I was flying from Glasgow Prestwick to Tampere Finland Through Skavsta Sweden, making my way home for summer holidays. It could've been worse. I could've been searched through all the cavities in my body. But for a tired student, making her way home to Finland after 6 months away from family and friends, it was utter torture.
I didn't even have to wait for the connecting flight for that long, but during those two hours or so the staff members managed to make me cry, shout, curse like a sailor and pay around £30 extra for the excess kilos of my luggage (which they didn't mind at Prestwick, just so you know). The best of all was when the staff at Skavsta saw my Finnish passport they immediately expected me to understand and speak Swedish. We did have to (I mean: were forced) to study Swedish language in schools in Finland during my pupil years, but that law has been long gone and not many really bothered anyway.
I was truly appalled. Treated like trash because of the way I looked and because of my nationality. Fair enough, they did not voice these things to my face, but I knew what they were thinking. Definitely after that one old lady in the customer service (!) area swore quietly 'damn Finnish tourists' (in Swedish, but I did understand it).
Anyway, my point is, even if you have to pay more DO NOT travel through/to Skavsta airport in Sweden. Avoid it if you can in any means necessary. It's a tiny reat hole with meanies behind every desk.

Interesting review.The management of the airport should be informed and given possibility to reply.
Anyway this confirms the problems that Sweden has as a Country to be customer oriented.
