When to fly
Holiday travel and Copenhagen's summer season are the periods that usually tighten availability on this route, so April being the cheapest month is useful if your dates are flexible. Book well ahead for December, July and other school-holiday periods, and give yourself room to move by a day or two, because a single connection can turn a missed flight into a much longer journey. The fare calendar covers October to May and July, not every month, so compare the dated fares for your exact days rather than assuming one month is uniformly cheap.
Airlines and what to expect
The real difference is what you get for the fare: Scandinavian Airlines usually bundles more into the ticket, while Norwegian and Norwegian International price bags, seats and extras separately. All three require at least one connection, because there are no nonstop flights on this route, so compare total journey time and connection risk rather than headline price alone. If you mix carriers on one itinerary, check whether baggage and protection carry across the connection.
Arriving — Copenhagen
Kastrup is a large airport, so arrival means a longer walk, passport or border formalities depending on your routing, and a transfer into the city rather than stepping straight into Copenhagen. Trains and metro connect it with the centre in a short ride, while taxis and buses cover the same distance more slowly or at higher cost, so choose by luggage and arrival time. Watch the terminal you land in and the onward transport's last departure, especially on late or winter flights.

Check before you book
- Check whether your ticket leaves from Svalbard, since Longyearbyen has only that airport and a misread code can send you to the wrong place.
- Check baggage rules for each carrier, because low-cost and full-service fares include different amounts.
- Check connection protection if separate tickets are involved, since a delay can void the onward segment.
- Check entry documents for Denmark and the journey home, including passport validity.
- Check the dated fare calendar for your exact days before you pay, because the cheapest month is not every date.
- Check transfer time at Kastrup and the last train or metro into Copenhagen.
