Copenhagen runs on Norwegian and SAS, hides a deep Morocco bench, and has one of Europe's slickest airport links — a €4 metro that drops you in the centre in 13 minutes.
Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH) is a Scandinavian hub where Norwegian (an enormous 68-city network from here) and SAS set the price, backed by Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air on the budget map. It’s also one of the best-connected airports in Europe for leaving quickly, with the metro running straight from under the terminal into town.
The tracked fares below are real prices aifly has observed leaving Copenhagen, cheapest first. Denmark’s strengths are an unusually broad Maghreb map (Rabat, Fes, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir, Casablanca), the Caucasus, Cape Verde, Istanbul and Atlantic Canada. Learn the season, set an alert, and book to the target.
When fares from Copenhagen actually drop
The cheapest windows are November and the deep-winter stretch of January–February, the off-season lull once the Christmas markets close. The Nordic shoulders of spring (April–May) and early autumn (September) are the other value pockets. Avoid the short, intense Danish summer (late June–July) and the Christmas–New Year peak, both dear in either direction. On the long-haul, the value tracks the same off-season pattern.
Lead time beats day-of-week. Norwegian and Ryanair short-haul fares price best 4–8 weeks out and reward pouncing on the seat sales; book about 7 weeks ahead on the busier routes to capture the typical discount. For a flexible trip, shifting out of summer is the single biggest saving.
Which airlines keep Copenhagen cheap
Norwegian is the volume leader from CPH — its 68-city network sets the floor on most European and sun routes — with SAS strong on the Maghreb, the Caucasus and the network long-haul, and Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air filling the budget gaps. The North African and SunExpress operators add competition on Morocco and Turkey, often with a bag at deal prices.
On the long-haul — Atlantic Canada (Halifax) and the connections to Africa and beyond — Copenhagen is served by SAS direct and by one-stop routings via the European and Gulf hubs, generally with a bag. Bag math: Norwegian’s LowFare, Ryanair and Wizz base fares all exclude a checked bag (and Wizz polices cabin size hard) — add the fee before comparing to a bag-inclusive SAS or Gulf fare.
Getting to and from Copenhagen Airport (CPH)
This is how an airport link should work. The M2 metro runs directly from Lufthavnen station under the terminal to Kongens Nytorv in the heart of the city in 13 minutes, for a 3-zone ticket of about 30 DKK (€4) — and it runs every 4–6 minutes by day, around the clock. There is no faster or cheaper way into Copenhagen, and no reason to consider anything else for most trips.
If you’re heading further (or on to Sweden), the mainline train from the same airport station reaches Copenhagen Central and crosses the Øresund Bridge to Malmö. A taxi to the centre is 250–350 DKK and pointless given the metro. CPH is a clean, easy airport with the metro and train platforms a short, signed walk from arrivals.
