๐ข Terminal Information
Copenhagen Airport now operates as a combined Terminal 2/3 complex with shared landside check-in halls and one central security checkpoint in Terminal 3 that feeds all gates; the former Terminal 1 domestic building is closed. Airside, the A/B piers handle most Schengen flights while C, D, and E gates serve Non-Schengen traffic with passport control positioned at the entrance to each pier. The train station and metro are directly beneath Terminal 3, making landside transfers quick for arriving passengers who need to re-check bags.
Walking routes are straightforward: from the central security exit, it is 5โ8 minutes to the A/B gates and roughly 10โ15 minutes to reach the C pier; continue another 5 minutes to the long-haul D/E gates. Moving walkways line the connector to C and D, but you should budget extra time during peak hours because passport control queues can add 5โ15 minutes when leaving the Schengen zone.
Security queues vary by bank; the main lane in Terminal 3 usually runs 5โ15 minutes, while early morning transatlantic waves can push waits toward 20โ25 minutes. Fast Track is beside the SAS check-in area in Terminal 3 and typically clears in under 5 minutes. Families with strollers are directed to dedicated lanes, and there is a separate crew/priority channel.
Schengen arrivals proceed directly to baggage claim, while Non-Schengen passengers clear immigration at booths or automated e-gates before descending to the carousels. Customs is a standard red/green exit just after baggage; secondary screening for food items and large electronics is occasionally conducted at random.
Amenities are concentrated in the central shopping street after security with Danish cafรฉs, bakeries, and design stores, plus SAS and Aspire lounges near the C pier and a Pier C American Express lounge. Free WiโFi, ample charging points, accessible elevators, tactile paving, and airside nursing rooms support passengers with mobility or family needs, and soft-play zones are located near selected B and C gates.
๐ Connection Tips
Walking distances can be long to the C gates (NonโSchengen). Follow blue signs and allow time for immigration.
