Hopefully this will be enough time to make the connection comfortably (separate tix).
Do you have checked luggage to claim at CPH? If so, you may be looking at up to nearly 2-2.5 hours in lines for just passport control and security screening. If not, it should be way more than enough time. Even with checked luggage, I would say it would work easily about 80+% of the times, assuming a sort of on-time arrival into CPH.
On average with checked luggage to claim at CPH, I would say it’s 30 minutes or less to clear passport control twice, plus 15 minutes for clearing security, plus 15-30 minutes to claim bags (assuming a 15-20 minute wait to enter Schengen has already taken place), plus 15 minutes to get checked in with BA, plus 15 minutes of additional walking time for the entirety of gate to gate and all between in there.
I would do it without worry, but I wouldn’t loiter around if I had checked luggage. Without checked luggage, this is a breeze.
