Larger security checkpoint
In the new portion of Terminal 5 there is now a large new security checkpoint. Due to new rules in recent years concerning hand baggage − for example requiring removal of computers from their cases and showing plastic bags containing liquids at the checkpoint − its space configuration has been better adapted to the new rules. The new checkpoint is about ten times larger than the previous one, located on two levels and with a total of eleven security screening lanes.
Large new duty- and tax-free shop and centralised information
Inside the security checkpoint, you enter an “orientation zone” − an area where you can find all the information you could conceivably need before your departure and your stay in the transit hall. After that, you walk straight into the new duty- and tax-free shop − your path goes straight through the shop, instead of alongside it.
With its eight metre high ceilings and 1,700 square metres of space, this new tax-free shop is Sweden's largest. Furthermore, it was recently selected as the best newly opened airport shop in the world by an international jury.

New café and new shops
At the glass façade towards the apron, there is a new café surrounded by small shop units, where you have the opportunity to watch at close hand how the aircraft are being prepared for departure.

New entrance and larger departure hall
Terminal 5 has also gained a new entrance at the angle between the old and new portions of the terminal. The opening between the two portions has also been broadened by re-locating the X-change currency exchange office. This enables you as a passenger to gain a clearer overview of the two portions of the departure hall. A new air traffic information area has also been created directly across from the entrance.
Aside from this, the new portion of the departure hall has become larger because the façade towards the street has been moved outward and the check-in machines have been placed in a new location along the façade.
