Lufthavnen station on the M2
Lufthavnen is a Copenhagen Metro station on an elevated viaduct in Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, served by the M2. It opened in 2007 and sits in zone 4 of the regional fare system.
For many travellers, the metro is the first leg of a trip abroad. Lufthavnen station is built into Terminal 3 of Copenhagen Airport, the building that contains the arrivals hall and the check-in area, so the walk from the train to the terminal is very short. Passengers travelling with hand luggage only can head from the metro towards the security checkpoint, while those with suitcases can make their way to the bag drop first.
Arriving in Copenhagen? The metro ride from the airport to the city centre takes about 14 minutes.
On the M2, Kastrup is 1 minute back down the line.
This is the end of the M2. Trains reverse here, so you can always get a seat if you board at Lufthavnen.
Trains call here 24 hours a day, every day of the year — every two minutes at rush hour, every three during the day and evening, and every 8 to 20 minutes overnight depending on the day of the week.
