Hi,

I'm a frequent traveller between BHX and CPH using SAS and generally it all works fine. However! my trip just before Easter has got interesting as the usual 1745 flight from BHX to CPH on Maundy Thursday doesn't exist - the only flight is at 0830 and as I will be getting to CPH from Sweden it means a very, very early start (perhaps too early).

The system I use for booking flights has helpfully suggested that I could fly with KLM and change at Schiphol or with SAS/KLM changing at Frankfurt with layovers of between 1 hour and 4 hours. Bizarrely they actually work out cheaper than flying with SAS direct but I was wondering if it usual to do such a thing as to change planes on such a short journey.

I'm very tempted to do a stopover at Schiphol as I really liked it there the last time I went 10 years ago- especially the panaormic terrace

So is it usual to change flights when doing a european flight to the UK or am I mad?

Thanks
P
