Flying in and out of Copenhagen. Do I need to go through security?
I will soon be travelling into Copenhagen from London, then from Copenhagen to Sorvagur (Faroe Islands) two hours after landing. I will have no checked-in baggage. The two flights are operated by different airlines (booked separately). I will have checked in online for both flights. I am a UK citizen.
My question is: Do I need to go through passport control, go to the departures area then go back through security to get to my next flight gate, or can I go directly there after landing?
Best Answer
Arriving at CPH you will need to go through immigration (i.e. passport control) as you're coming from a non-Schengen country.
To get to the departure gate for the Faroe Islands you will not need to go through security (only non-EU arrivals go through security screening) and can go directly to your gate once you pass immigration. (Note: you might be lucky and your flight to the Faroe departs from the same area as your flight from the UK arrives - in that case you don't even need to pass through immigration. This is however not guaranteed.)
