Plan Ahead as Copenhagen Airport Expects Busy Autumn Holiday Travel

Travelers using Copenhagen Airport should prepare for heavy autumn holiday crowds. Airport management advises arriving two hours early for Schengen flights. You should arrive three hours early for non-European departures.

The airport expects around 1.1 million passengers during autumn break. The busy school holiday period starts on 9 October. Peak days will see over 115,000 daily travelers. London is the top city destination for autumn trips. Spain, Italy, and France lead southern European travel.

This rush follows a record-breaking September at the airport. The hub handled 3.2 million passengers last month. That marks a 4 percent increase from last year. Increased transfer traffic drove this strong passenger growth.

Norway was the largest market with 270,000 passengers. Spain and the UK followed close behind. Direct flights to the United States grew by 8 percent. Three airlines now run 12 routes to 10 US destinations.

Passengers should check in online before leaving home. You can track flight updates on the airport app or website.
