Chongqing to Copenhagen (CKG–CPH) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

Chinese passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Denmark. Apply at the Danish embassy or a VFS Global visa centre in China. The short-stay visa costs EUR 80 and covers stays up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Processing takes 10 to 15 calendar days.

You will need a completed application form, two passport photos, travel insurance with at least EUR 30,000 coverage, flight reservation, hotel bookings, and proof of financial means. Three months of bank statements are standard. Your passport must have at least 3 months validity beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area and 2 blank pages.

The Schengen visa for Denmark also covers Greenland and the Faroe Islands if specifically requested during the application. Otherwise, those territories require a separate visa notation.

Chongqing Metro Line 10 runs directly to T3A (the main international and domestic terminal) in 35–45 minutes from Jiaochangkou (city centre), costing ¥6–8. Line 3 also connects to the airport with a transfer. T3B links internally to T3A; check if your terminal is within the same building before choosing a route.Airport shuttle buses serve multiple city zones including Chaotianmen, Guanyinqiao, and Shapingba (¥20–30, 40–70 min). Taxis from the Jiefangbei area cost ¥60–90 and take 40–60 minutes depending on expressway conditions. DiDi is widely available.

The Metro M2 runs every 4–6 minutes from the airport station to central Copenhagen (15 min, DKK 36 on Rejsekort). DSB regional trains depart for Copenhagen Central Station (13 min) and continue to Malmö (Sweden) via the Øresund Bridge (35 min total from airport). Taxis from arrivals to the city centre cost DKK 250–350; Uber also operates.Terminal 3 (international) and Terminal 2 (domestic/Schengen) are connected by a covered walkway. Rental car desks are in Terminal 3 arrivals. CPH is also a ferry hub; routes to Oslo (DFDS) and Bornholm depart from Copenhagen's harbour, accessible via city transit.

Temperate maritime climate. Winters (November–February) are cold and frequently overcast at −2 to 5°C with rain, sleet, and occasional snow. Copenhagen is better prepared for winter operations than many European cities, but heavy snowfall still causes delays. Fog is a seasonal disruption risk, particularly October through January.

Summers (June–August) are mild and pleasant at 18–24°C with long daylight hours and generally good flying conditions. Wind from the southwest can be strong year-round. CPH has a crosswind reputation. Spring and autumn are transitional and variable.
