Your guide to booking Edinburgh to Copenhagen flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly, and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Tuesday departure and avoid flying on Friday. On this route, Tuesday flights average £72, about £65 less than Friday fares (48% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 7 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 36% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Edinburgh to Copenhagen trip for February. Fares historically average £82 return in that month – typically £55 less than the most expensive month, which is July (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with Scandinavian Airlines. Over the past three months, 87% of Scandinavian Airlines flights from Edinburgh to Copenhagen arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 81%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 1h 42m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through London Stansted Airport (STN) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest stopover option averages £89 return on this route – about £10 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • Once you've arrived at Kastrup Copenhagen Airport (CPH), one of the most convenient ways to get to the city centre from the airport is to take the M2 metro line directly from the airport to the city centre.
