Momondo lists airplane connections to Sweden.

From Arlanda there are SL commuter trains (see above) to Stockholm Central Station (Stockholm C). Note that you will need to switch trains to get to Handen, but it's possible and recommended to buy a single ticket at the airport for the whole journey. Ask for directions for and tickets to Handen at the Arlanda Central desk in SkyCity between terminals 4 and 5. Conveniently, the train from Arlanda to Stockholm C usually stops at the same platform as the train from Stockholm C towards Handen. Arlanda is also served by both Arlanda Express trains and airport buses to Stockholm C.

Bromma is served by SL buses (see above) and airport buses to Stockholm C. For SL tickets, look for Pressbyrån shops with the SL sign, these need to be bought before boarding the bus. Consider buying a ticket for the whole journey to Handen.

Skavsta is served by SJ trains (see above) and airport buses.

Please note that taxi prices in Sweden are unregulated, so to avoid nasty surprises make sure you know the approximate price of the journey before getting into the car. Taxis are required to post their rates for a 15 minute journey clearly, so look for the yellow signs in the car's rear side window. The maximum rate should absolutely not be higher than 400 kr. If there's a queue of taxis waiting for customers you do not have to take the first car in line, you can look for a cheaper one. Visit Stockholm has more information.
