- Peak long-haul arrival waves (passport control queues)
- Waiting for oversized baggage
- Taxi queues in bad weather
- Roadworks and events (concerts at Royal Arena, congresses at Bella Center)
A pre-booked chauffeur removes the waiting at the airport end. We track your flight and are in the arrivals hall when you walk out. See Copenhagen Airport transfers and the full airport-to-city guide.
