Copenhagen Airport Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is a long, linear “one-roof” terminal with a single airside spine (Finger D) running west–east, feeding multiple piers off a central hub. The Central Security Checkpoint sits between the Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 landside halls, depositing you into the main retail zone as the key decision point. From this Kastrup hub in Denmark’s main airport complex, the walk intensifies toward the far-east low-cost Pier F.
Map Table
| Terminal | Key Airlines | Primary Function | Transfer Mode |

| Terminal 2 | Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Transavia | Check-in hall, landside access | Walk, escalators |
| Terminal 3 | SAS, Star Alliance partners | Check-in, arrivals, rail interface | Walk, escalators, elevators |
| Central Security | All departures | Single security bottleneck | Walk |
| Airside Piers A–F | Mixed by gate zone | Schengen / Non-Schengen gates | Walk, limited moving walkways |
Copenhagen Airport Map Strategy
- Treat Central Security and passport control as the two clock-breakers; build buffer before you even start the long walk to your pier.
- Commit to the correct post-security direction at the retail hub decision point; a wrong turn toward A/B when you need E/F can cost a full backtrack.
- Assume any itinerary involving Pier F carries a built-in long-walk penalty; plan your route around exact pier entrances and connector corridors, not “terminal” labels.
- Prefer predictable flow over “theoretically faster” screening; if a lane is triggering frequent secondary bag checks, choose consistency and start earlier.

Ongoing works around the B/C core area are tightening the main artery, so walking speeds through the central spine can drop during peaks. Expect the biggest variability at Central Security and at passport control nodes for non-Schengen departures (Pier C entrance and the E/F checkpoint). Pier F remains a long, manual approach with no high-speed walkway system, and the newer CT-scanner lanes can add “secondary check” surprise time.

What is the walking distance (meters) from the security exit to the entrance of Pier F (F gates) on the CPH terminal map?
Walking distance is about 850–950 meters from the Central Security Checkpoint exit (airside) to the entrance of Pier F (F gates) at Copenhagen Airport.
That route runs east along the main airside spine (Finger D) from the post-security retail hub, continues past the Pier C split, and then follows the long connector corridor toward “Gates F / CPH Go.” The key delay risk isn’t the meters—it’s the East passport control checkpoint on the way to the E/F complex, plus the fact that the former high-speed ACCEL walkway in the Pier F approach is gone, so the final stretch is a fully manual walk.
What is the walking distance (meters) from the entrance of Pier A (A gates) to the entrance of Pier F (F gates) airside on the CPH map?
Walking distance is roughly 1,200–1,400 meters from the airside entrance of Pier A (near the root by early A gates) to the airside entrance of Pier F (F gates) at Copenhagen Airport.
The path is a full-length traverse: walk back out of Pier A to the central retail hub by the post-security area, continue east along Finger D past the Pier C junction, then follow the long corridor toward the F-gates complex. The transfer is also “mixed-zone” in practice because reaching Pier F for non-Schengen departures can force you through the E/F passport control checkpoint, so the walking distance is only the baseline—border-control spikes are what turn this into a missed-connection risk.
Where exactly is exit passport control for non-Schengen departures located (the checkpoint location on the map) for passengers walking toward C/F gate areas?
Exit passport control is located at two separate airside checkpoints, and which one you hit depends on whether you’re heading into Pier C or continuing toward the E/F complex.
Passport control for Pier C sits at the entrance to Pier C directly off the main airside spine (Finger D), just after the central shopping area split where C gates branch away. For Pier E and Pier F, the relevant checkpoint is further east along Finger D, positioned on the main connector that guards access into the E/F area—you encounter it after passing the Pier C branch point, before the long walk that leads into the Pier E/F corridors.
Where is the airside transfer route entry point that connects the E gate area toward the A gate area (map location of the connector start)?
The E-to-A airside transfer route starts at the root of Pier E, at the junction where the Pier E/F connector meets the main airside spine (Finger D).
From the E gates, you walk west until you reach the boundary node that funnels passengers toward the central hub; the defining “start” point is the arrival/entry passport control checkpoint at that junction (the control point you must pass to move from the E/F non-Schengen side back toward the Schengen-connected central spine). After that checkpoint, the route becomes a straight westbound walk along Finger D back through the retail hub and out toward Piers A/B, then down Pier A.
Where is the first physical point where the security queue forms/overflows (map location relative to check-in halls/entrances) during peak periods?
The first spill/overflow point is the mezzanine access down into the T2/T3 landside atrium void, directly between Terminal 2 check-in rows 38–55 and the Terminal 3 transport hub side.
When Central Security saturates, the queue backs up beyond the roped area at the security hall and then snakes down the stairs/escalator approaches, spilling into the open connector space that people use to walk laterally between Terminal 3 (rail/metro arrivals) and Terminal 2 (check-in). That atrium “cross-current” zone is where the line starts blocking normal movement first, before it fully clogs the check-in-front circulation.
What is the walking distance (meters) from baggage claim to the train/metro access point shown on the airport map?
Walking distance is about 150 meters to the train station access and about 200–250 meters to the metro access from the Terminal 3 baggage-claim exit area.
Train access is shorter in meters because the heavy-rail station sits directly below Terminal 3, but the route is “short-and-vertical,” relying on elevators/escalators that can queue during arrival waves. Metro access is a “longer-but-level” walk, following the Terminal 3 extension toward the above-ground metro station connection, which can be faster in practice with rolling bags if vertical bottlenecks are busy.
Where are the moving walkways located on the main airside spine (map locations of walkway segments between the central retail zone and the piers)?
Moving walkways are concentrated in Finger D (the Connecting Finger), the main airside spine that runs out of the post-security central retail zone and links the pier junctions.
They sit along the straight-through corridor section between the central duty-free/retail hub and the C-side junction area, covering the spine where most cross-airport transfers funnel through. Coverage drops off outside that core: Pier A and Pier B don’t have moving walkways along their lengths, and the long approach toward Pier F no longer has the former high-speed system, so the F-connector is effectively a manual walk even after you leave the walkway-equipped spine.
Where is the bus-gate boarding area located (exact map location where passengers queue/board buses for remote stands)?
The bus-gate boarding area is primarily at Pier C, gates C2–C10, in a ground-level “bus gate pen” below the main pier.
You reach it by heading toward Pier C from the main airside spine and then taking the down escalators into the lower-level holding area where passengers wait and queue before boarding buses to remote stands. A second bus-gate cluster exists in the international side: D101–D104 in the non-Schengen zone, used for remote-stand operations tied to that D-area international flow.
Where is the Fast Track security entrance located on the map (exact entry point relative to standard security)?
Fast Track security is located at both far ends of the Central Security Checkpoint hall, not in the middle of the standard queue.
One entrance (Track 1) is at the western / Terminal 2 end of the security hall, positioned closest to Terminal 2 check-in access. The other (Track 16) is at the eastern / Terminal 3 end, closest to the Terminal 3 side where rail/metro arrivals and SAS/Star Alliance check-in feed into the security level. Both feed into the same post-security airside retail hub.
Which security lane zone contains the new scanner area linked to frequent secondary bag checks (map location of that screening section)?
The new scanner area associated with frequent secondary bag checks is in security lanes 23 and 24 at the Central Security Checkpoint.
Those lanes are the CT/3D (“C3”) scanner deployment zone within the main security hall, so the “map location” is inside the centralized security screening area rather than at a pier entrance. The operational risk is that bags from these lanes are more likely to be diverted to the nearby manual inspection positions for swabbing/secondary checks, so the lane choice can trade a faster belt for a less predictable exit time.
