Connecting in Copenhagen

tinytobe

I am on a connecting flight via Copenhagen. I only have 40 minutes between the two flights.

I have one checked suitcase. Would this be enough time for my suitcase to make it?

suitcase should be fine.
but any delays could screw the whole thing you and the suitcase.
But if it all on one ticket you’ll be covered

Thanks for that. Yes, it's all on one ticket.

I am not worried about not making the connecting flight.

However I am worried about the suitcase.

I got off a flight today where there was a slight delay attaching the airbridge upon arrival I’d say around 5 + mins waiting for the door to open after arrival on stand.
The airport app showed the first bags were already on the belt in arrivals before the any passengers had reached the baggage hall.

Point being sometimes bags move faster than passengers.

If the airline sells the connection it’s assumed it’s possible and doable. If everything is running efficiently and on time.

Hopefully that will be the case for you

Thanks for reassuring me.

Are you saying you have to land, get your checked bag, go landside, check your bag in for onward flight, go through security and board your onward flight?

All inside 40mins in CPH?

It is all in one single booking and checked through. I think we covered that already.

I’ve been told before that if you can make the transfer, your bag can. In practice this isn’t always the case unfortunately

I can let you all know this evening if my suitcase made it or not.

Incidentally when the machine at the check in printed my tag for the suitcase the receipt which is normally given to the passenger wasn't printed. Don't know if that's a bad omen.

I've arrived and so did the suitcase.

I've also asked at Copenhagen airport. 30 minutes is the minimum for the suitcase to be sent to the connecting flight.

Good to hear. CPH is a very good airport for connections in my experience (with SAS). You disembark straight in to the gate area and don't have to go through security again.
