How to travel around Denmark by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Denmark

  • Check SAS baggage conditions for domestic travel
    When flying SAS, baggage allowance depends on ticket type, destination and EuroBonus membership level. Check the allowance for your own domestic booking rather than inferring free baggage from another fare.
  • Check the Aalborg–Copenhagen domestic flight
    SAS’s official route page lists flights from Aalborg (AAL) to Copenhagen (CPH) within Denmark and provides a booking search. Check the live airline results for operating dates, fares and airport details before booking.

Arriving from another country

  • Check Denmark short-visit visa requirements by nationality
    Official Danish guidance requires a visa for short visits by citizens of countries subject to a visa requirement. Check your nationality and visit conditions; this rule should not be applied to visa-exempt statuses.

Complete Billund check-in before the deadline

Billund Airport advises checking the airline’s closing time on your ticket and completing check-in by that time. Do not treat the deadline as the time to arrive at the airport or join a queue.

Denmark flight and airport FAQs

Can I arrive at Billund when check-in closes?

The airport states that check-in must already be completed by that time. Arrive earlier and follow your airline’s arrangements.

Does SAS baggage allowance depend only on cabin?

No. SAS lists ticket type, destination and EuroBonus membership level as factors. Check your own booking.
