02 · Before you fly

Check in your bags at the hotel.

Skip the morning airport queues

Many guests don't realise it, but you can check in for your flight the day before departure directly at the hotel. Often you can also hand in your checked luggage when you arrive — so your last morning is just breakfast and maybe a swim, not a 5 a.m. queue at bag drop.

Flight check-in

Available the day before your departure.

Bag drop

Leave your bags at the hotel when you arrive.

More morning time

Enjoy a longer breakfast or a trip to the pool.

How it works

Use the self check-in counter in the lobby or ask at reception.

This is possible because Clarion Hotel Copenhagen Airport is an integrated part of the terminal complex — you are already inside the airport.

Not all airlines offer hotel bag drop. Ask reception which carriers are supported today, or check the self-service kiosk in the lobby for your flight.

03 · Airport

When to head to the terminal.

Recommended time buffer

Leave the hotel with enough time to pass security and reach your gate. These are the minimum buffers we recommend from the hotel lobby.

Schengen flights
1 h 30 min

Before scheduled departure.

Non-Schengen / Intercontinental
2 h 30 min

Passport control takes longer.

During peak season
+30 min

Add extra time in summer, Easter, and Christmas.

Early morning
+15 min

Security queues build up from 06:00.

The hotel is inside the terminal, so "going to the airport" usually means a 2–5 minute walk to security. You are already there.

Security & transfer

Standard security lanes open 24/7. Fast Track is available for premium tickets and some loyalty cards. If you are transferring, follow the red "Transfer" signs; you rarely need to leave the secure area between international flights.

Which terminal?

Terminal 3

Main hub. Most check-in, security, and the metro/train station are here.

Terminals 2 & 1

Domestic and some Schengen flights. Connected via covered walkways.

5–7 min from hotel

Transfer between flights

CPH is a compact airport. Most transfers between Schengen and non-Schengen gates take 15–25 minutes, including passport control. If you are staying overnight, the hotel is directly connected to the terminal so you never need to leave the building.

04 · Getting around

Copenhagen is closer than you think.

Metro to Copenhagen city

Best
15 min · DKK 36

To the terminals

2 min walk

Covered walkway from the hotel lobby directly into Terminal 3 — arrivals level. Follow the yellow signs.

Taxi to city centre

Train to Malmö, Sweden

35 min · DKK 111
