Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Copenhagen

The weeks around November often price close to the lowest point, so compare late October and early December before settling on dates. November is the month that usually prices lowest, but December lifts around Christmas and New Year, and July and August coincide with school holidays. Midweek departures are worth checking against weekend ones, especially when your dates are flexible. Public holidays in either country can change fares quickly, so search a few days on either side of your ideal date.

Connections are where this route gets complicated: a non-direct itinerary adds a stop, extra time and sometimes a second set of baggage rules, so check the connection before you buy. The names mix low-cost brands, full-service carriers and a regional operator: Ryanair, Norwegian International, Easyjet, Scandinavian Airlines, Malta Air, Hahn Air Technologies, Norwegian, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Nordic Regional Airlines. Compare fare families, because what is included can change by carrier and ticket type, and read the flight details rather than assuming a non-stop.

Arrange your onward transport and accommodation details before you land, because a late arrival can leave you with fewer public transport options. Kastrup is Copenhagen's airport; trains and metro run into the centre, taxis and airport buses are the usual alternatives, and the journey is straightforward by city standards. Check which terminal your flight uses and where your bag is delivered, especially after a connection, and allow time for passport control.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check passport validity and any Denmark entry requirements for your nationality before you book.
• Confirm your itinerary uses Edinburgh Airport rather than a nearby Scottish airport with a similar name.
• Check that your arrival airport is Kastrup and note the terminal before you travel.
• Check baggage size and fees for any low-cost carrier on the booking, because included allowances differ.
• Check whether a connection is on one ticket or separate tickets, since separate tickets shift missed-connection risk to you.
• Look at the months either side of November if your dates are flexible, and avoid school holidays and Christmas where possible.
