Airport Hotels Copenhagen - Kastrup
Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport
Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport (CPH) on Amager is the hub for Scandinavia's largest
international carrier SAS — Scandinavian Airlines. Kastrup Airport consistently
gets high marks for both design and function — this is a much more pleasant
place for transit than, say, London Heathrow or Frankfurt. Check-in lines can
get long during peak hours however, so make sure to allocate extra time in the
summer. Self-service check-in counters are available, which can cut down on wait
times.
A number of low-cost carriers also fly to the airport. EasyJet serves Copenhagen
from London Stansted, Manchester, Milan, Geneva and Berlin Schönefeld.
Air Berlin flies direct to Düsseldorf, Berlin and Palma de Mallorca. Norwegian
offers budget flights to (amongst others) to Oslo, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Budapest,
Paris, Geneva, Vienna and Warsaw. Cimber Sterling operates many routes, e.g.,
London Gatwick, Prague, Newcastle, Edinburgh, and Athens. Recently Dutch low-cost
carrier Transavia has begun offering flights to a number of European destinations
like Barcelona, Nice and Rome.
It takes twelve minutes by train to get from Kastrup to the central station
(Hovedbanegården) in downtown Copenhagen. You need a ticket for three
zones which can be purchased from one of the automated vending machines or the
ticket counter located inside the atrium and costs 34,50 Kr for a single journey.
The Copenhagen Metro also connects Kastrup with central Copenhagen, with trains
leaving every four minutes during the day and every fifteen minutes at night,
taking fourteen minutes to the city center (for the same ticket and price of
34,50 Kr).
The airport has different stations for mainline trains (Københavns Lufthavn,
Kastrup Station) and for the metro (Lufthavnen Station), both are located within
Terminal 3. Another metro station is named Kastrup but has nothing to do with
the airport although it is relatively close.
Consider Sturup Airport (MMX) in Malmö, Sweden as well — it's only
40 minutes by bus from central Malmö, and from there 30 minutes by train
to Copenhagen Central Station. Wizzair from Budapest, Gdansk, Katowice, Prague
and Warszawa and a few domestic airlines often offer cheap flights to other
Swedish cities.
