Transportation in Denmark Finding the right type of transportation in Denmark and learning how to use it can sometimes be a bit daunting for those who come from outside Scandinavia. Once you learn a few basic things, you will be buzzing around like a native. So let's get started with... AirlinesGetting to Denmark is not hard, since Denmark has several major airports, including Kastrup in Copenhagen, Billund Billund in central Jutland, Aarhus airport near Aarhus and Aalborg in northern Jutland, plus several other smaller airports which serve mostly private and corporate airlines. Kastrup Airport will be the major entry point for most visitors, since about 20 million people fly in and out of Kastrup every year. The major airline of Denmark is SAS; however, at this time it is possible that SAS may be bought out by Lufthansa. I will keep you posted if this happens. Other major carriers are KLM, Lufthansa, British Airways, BMI, Delta, Continental, Easy Jet, Singapore, Sterling and many more. At present over 50 airlines fly to and from Kastrup. You can see more at Kastrup Airport Information , which includes flight times and arrivals, a map of the airport and almost everything else you could want to know. Before you leave the airport to head downtown to Copenhagen, check out this handy tip. It can save you 50% before you even get to Copenhagen, so it's well worth a look. Save 50%. (link)
Arriving in Copenhagen is usually a snap, with customs and security quick and hassle-free (unless you are trying to be deceitful and then you can be in for the long haul). Check out Customs Regulations before you pack and head off for the duty free shops. (link) Tip: (When planning your flights out of Denmark) If your flight takes you via England (UK), check your arrival and departure airports in the UK. Often you will fly in to Gatwick Airport and out of Heathrow Airport or maybe Stansted Airport and Heathrow Airport. Please be aware that the bus ride from one airport to another is quite expensive and can take over an hour or two. Some flights arrive so late in England you will need to overnight, and you do not want to overnight on a bench at the airport or spend a few hundred pounds for a hotel. My personal preference when flying to the States is to fly to Amsterdam or Frankfurt first. Airport transfers are easier, and flight times are better (especially the layovers). Of course, that all depends on your own schedule. When flying to/from the United Kingdom, check out Easy Jet flights from Stansted. There may also be some great deals from Manchester and Birmingham airports.
