Copenhagen Kastrup Spotting/Photography

Many thanks for the info guys, I’m afraid now that the fare has shot up overnight which puts it out of the question. I have visited Copenhagen back in August, but went straight from airport to city then flew home from Esbjerg. I’ll keep it on my list for somehwere to visit for photography next time EZY have a sale.

Ahhh SAS A340 we had one in DUB on Sunday it was heading into the hanger.
I nearly crashed at the sight of it, along with the A321 the A340 in SAS colours are two of the most magnificent aircraft around.

I believe there was an articale in a past copy of airliner world about spotting in CPH Ill see if I can dig it out.

HI Wannabe,

I used to pass through Kastrup on a near-weekly basis on business trips, but never had any time for photography etc. I was last there three years ago, so thinsg may have changed, but:

From memory, it’s a very spread-out airport, with multiple runways in use at the same time, with short haul (props etc) operating on a different runways to the longer haul jets. It also used to have a departure gate for hovercraft “flights” across to Sweden. The main terminals (two I think?) are on the northern side of the airfield.

The airport is adjacent to the sea, and westerly runway approaches pass low over a public road along the eastern perimeter of the airport, that runs along the sea wall, so a longish walk, or a taxi ride might get you there.

Views from inside the european departure lounge are fair, and typicla of most modern terminal buildings, so long as you take care when shooting through reflections etc.

If you get chance grab the fast and efficient train into Copenhagen city centre, it’s a beautiful fairly compact city, with very friendly people, and excellent beer – what more can you ask for? Oh, and be warned, prices are not cheap.

I will be of zilch use for you… but just wanted to say that Kastrup is the best airport in Europe, and Copenhagen the best city. 😀
