perhaps, it could be cheaper to take ryanair from Stokholm to england and then from england to where you want , rather than a direct line with SAS from stockholm to your country.

Personal comments
there are more and more private rooms in Umea. Cheaper and in many cases a very easy-going alternative. Another plus is you can always sleep at night. Got the room via an ad in the local newspaper Västerbottens-Kuriren.
