Nordic Countries - Travel time from downtown (?) Copenhagen to airport?

Next month I might be taking a 3:40 p.m. SAS flight from downtown (?) Copenhagen (specifically, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about ten minutes' walk from the Strand Hotel) to Chicago. I have a talk scheduled to end at 1:30 p.m. Would this be enough time to get to the airport and to make my flight? FWIW, the flight would be mid-week, I would be traveling business class, I would just have carry-on luggage and I have a US passport.
Thanks for any advice on this.

There may well be a quicker way (I'm not that familiar with Copenhagen public transport as I normally stay in the centre and walk everywhere) - but if you take a taxi to the station and a train from there then the journey should take around half an hour including any waiting/walking time. According to Google the Ministry is a five minute drive from the station, and trains take 12 minutes and go about every ten minutes.
So - assuming your meeting finishes on time, and you are able to check in online, you should be OK.

A taxi from the Foreign Ministry to the airport should not take more than 15 - 20 minutes. You could even take the metro.The Christianshavn Metro station is only a 5 minute walk from the from the ministry. Either way , you should be just fine. And with a SAS business ticket you can use the Fast Track security at the airport.
