Would anyone disagree?
Our departure is on DY7001 to JFK at 6.05pm on a Saturday towards the end of this month. What time should we aim to be at the airport by to clear security in time?
Many thanks!
I would personally go to Nationaltheateret, it is one stop further than the Central Station - and note that every train every 10min run to the Central Station, however only the trains every 20min run past the Central Station. Whilst the food options aren't great there either, at least if you exit on to Karl Johans Gate you'd be in touching distance of the Palace and can either go up and see it, or take it in from a 150m distance. There are plenty of options for eating around there.
Do note that the express is about $22.5 in each direction, so as someone else said, not a low-cost option. If each person has their own bank card, then you just swipe at the gates, rather than needing to buy a ticket from a vendor/machine.
