Jokkmokk is situated around 200 km south of Kiruna, and there are regular buses from Kiruna (Kiruna-Jokkmokk 175 SEK one-way, yes, it's quite expensive).
But keeping in mind that there are approximatively double as many flights from Stockholm to Luleå than to Kiruna (and thus better chances to get a stand-by to/from Luleå), some of you might prefer to come/go through Luleå and maybe even stay some extra days.
This ticket entitles you to a one-way flight from Stockholm to any other Swedish destination listed by the national carrier SAS and thus to Luleå and Kiruna too.
