Your guide to booking London 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 Wednesday departure and avoid flying on Sunday. On this route, Wednesday flights average £133, about £26 less than Sunday fares (16% 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 40% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your London to Copenhagen trip for January. Fares historically average £104 return in that month – typically £56 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, 90% of Scandinavian Airlines flights from London to Copenhagen arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 86%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 1h 48m, 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 Duesseldorf Intl Airport (DUS) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest stopover option averages £38 return on this route – about £98 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • Booking flights from London to Copenhagen can be extremely flexible due to flights leaving from London Stansted, Luton, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports. When flying into Copenhagen, you’ll fly into Copenhagen Airport, which is the largest airport in all of the Nordic countries. This airport is also one of Europe’s oldest international airports, and it serves the entire region, including part of southern Sweden.
  • If you’re feeling peckish before the flight and need some food to tide you over until your return flight lands, you have several different airport restaurant options within the terminals. Copenhagen Airport features over 30 different restaurant options, which include airport staples like McDonald’s and Starbucks, as well as restaurants and cafes serving up local fare.
  • You can get to Copenhagen city centre by bus, metro or train after your flight from London to Copenhagen. The 5A bus takes travellers directly from the airport to several areas in the city centre, with buses 35 and 36 stopping along routes to different areas throughout Copenhagen. The train and metro transport options can take you to Copenhagen Central Station, City Hall Square, Nørreport and other locations in the centre.
  • Because all public transport in Copenhagen is integrated, tickets for buses, the metro and the train can all be bought from the vending machines that are scattered throughout the city, with several stationed at Terminal 3. Two fare zones will be sufficient for the majority of city centre travel and will cost you approximately DKK 24 (3 GBP).
  • If for some reason during your trip you need to leave your car at the airport, Copenhagen Airport offers several airport parking options from around DKK 360 (43 GBP) per week for a space in an outdoor car park located a 7-10 minute walk away from the terminals. Valet service is also available, with weekly costs starting at around DKK 940 (112 GBP).
  • Choose Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) as your departure airport if you're travelling as a family with little ones. They have a Stay & Play area and a Kids' Zone, respectively. These are safe playgrounds with activities for children.
