Earliest arrival on the 24th I can see is an SAS flight transferring at Copenhagen, but it doesn't arrive until 1525 - with a fixed 1730 appointment which'd require me getting to the Flughafen train station at 1600 at the very latest, I'm thinking that is being overly optimistic? I've taken this flight before and it came in at a remote gate requiring a bus transfer to the terminal which doesn't help, but I can't remember whether I entered Schengen at CPH or not which could save a bit of time when arriving into DUS, plus I'd just have hand baggage and know where I'm going once landside from previous trips. Is getting out in this time feasible, or should I look for another option?
