Scandinavian Airlines launches direct flights from Newquay to Copenhagen this summer, ideal for honeymooners

Honeymooners from Devon or Cornwall looking to visit Denmark will now be able to fly direct from Newquay to Copenhagen this summer.

Scandinavian Airlines will launch the route later this month, operating twice a week in each direction on a Monday and Friday between 21st June 2019 and 19th August 2019. Flights will operate on a 90-seat regional jet, with tickets starting from just £82 each way, or from £153 return, including all taxes and charges.

Ideal for SW England residents looking for an easy Scandinavian mini-moon, the new route brings Denmark's capital within under a two-hour flight from Cornwall, and additionally offers travellers connections across the SAS network to over 125 worldwide destinations including Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok.

The new service follows on from the airline's successful route launch between London Stansted and Copenhagen in April, and brings direct SAS routes to the Danish capital from seven UK airports, including from London Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

Flights will depart Newquay at 19.05, arriving into Copenhagen at 22.10, and returning from Copenhagen at 17.00, arriving into Newquay at 18.25.

Copenhagen is under the spotlight after being voted the number one city to visit in 2019 by Lonely Planet. With an abundance of new hotel openings including Hotel Ottilia, Marriott Moxy Copenhagen, and Wakeup Copenhagen, as well as 15 Michelin starred restaurants, such as newly awarded Noma to choose from, honeymooners have plenty to explore.

We look forward to welcoming travelers on board our new flight.”
