How quickly was that queue moving? It should be a very simple process to check someone's BP / Eticket and wave them through.

How long does it take to actually pass the entry check? And why does it take so long when it should be an easy one second per customer?

There seem to be two problems: 1. People who don't expect the check and only start pulling out their itineraries / BP when they get to the guard. 2. People arguing with guards.
Regarding #1, I've seen some guards only asking people what time they fly and not asking for any proof.

How are the queues from the departures drop-off to get into the terminal?
It must be ages or decades since I took the bus but don't you arrive at arrivals and then take the escalator up? Are they guarding that access point? When I get picked up at ARN, I always get picked up at departures so walk down and take the escalator up into the "old" check-in area and then exit to the street.

So most of the "queue" is made up from pax arriving more than 3hrs prior to their flight, which is the cut off line to get into the terminal. T5D security was approx 25-30 minutes with fast track being 1 minute wait time. Easy.

Courteous reminder that this thread is about T4, not security delays or arrival times…
This is the view of the new connection corridor from the Terminal 5 end. (Exit to baggage is behind me, escalators up to gate 11 to my right). There are travelators.
Swedavia has said that it is initially Ryanair that's moving to T4 when it reopens. (But we'll have to see what happens with non-Schengen Ryanair flights, because AFAIK there is no border check at T4.) At the same time, T4 effectively becomes a pier (C) of T5 since the airside connection walkway is supposed to be finished.
- Ryanair passengers travelling with Non Schengen flights use the connecting walkway to Terminal 5 after they have completed check in and security at Terminal 4.
- Airside, there are no signs referring to Terminal 4, the term used is gate area C30-44.
- Gate area C30-44 handles Schengen flights and domestic flights. Also other airlines with the right aircraft types for these stands will be allocated to this gate area.

Cool. So you walk under the skycity. They must have added the section as the baggage transfer system is on the other side of the wall (left of the picture). Or at least it was there when we did a tour of ARN in 2004.
