Sweden has phased out the passport control staffing for Denmark-Sweden crossings by public transit this weekend. No passport control when coming into Malmö from Copenhagen today. Trains from Copenhagen into Malmö are packed like crazy this morning, but part of that could be due to service interruptions. They are packed with mask wearing passengers from Copenhagen being the majority, but then the masks get removed somewhere between Malmö-Hyllie arrival and wherever in Sweden the passengers get off. But by the time the train reaches Lund, the mask use seems to plummet to sub-3% of passengers.

I have my CDC COVID-19 vaccination proof along with me. Just don’t know yet if I’ll be taking the train to Copenhagen today or flying from Sweden to Copenhagen later this weekend (if at all getting back to Denmark before Monday). I’ll be sure to share what I find out from my crossings and those of others.

Sed2125, welcome to (posting on) FlyerTalk.

On Thursday and Friday, Sweden was checking train passengers for ID at Hyllie. That was on the platform or on the train while it waited there.

For the trains today, Sweden was no longer doing any ID checks for border crossing into Sweden from Denmark. Not in Hyllie, nor anywhere else in Skane at least. And I am pretty sure Stockholm isn’t currently staffed to do border control checks for trains coming from Malmo and won’t be like it was some years back. :)

I'm confused by all these rules. As a fully vaccinated Canadian citizen and resident, can I visit Denmark for tourism purposes? It would be in August so I'm sure things can change.

It does look that way. Canada is an OECD country (as is the US) so according to this site (https://en.coronasmitte.dk/rules-and...nts-upon-entry) under "If you are travelling and fully vaccinated," you would be eligible to travel to Denmark. The Danish language original seems to indicate the same thing. Some links are not functional as of right this moment or redirect to older guidance. Personally, I'd wait a couple of days to let the new guidance be fully disseminated but it does seem as if there is hope for you (and me) to travel to that destination in August. Keeping in mind, of course, that the guidance could change at a moment's notice...

Good luck! I will be monitoring for the next week or two and then might well join you.

I have July 24 flights booked from Toronto connection through the US and Uk. Might look at changing to direct if Air Canada opens flights. UK connection (separate ticket) is my worry, I would be in the airport only a few extra hours but still don’t want that to limit entry. My plan was to continue to Norway after a few days, but that is still up in the air!

If you are looking to use miles, consider getting the bookings done sooner than later. The Danish Embassy in DC was quick to highlight this. https://usa.um.dk/

Where do I find current information for entry to Denmark in Danish?

I created an Avianca Lifemiles account a number of years back, but keep forgetting about it. Is it primarily targeted at business class?

Can't you already remove the mask once you're past the Danish flags painted on the bridge?

Faroe Islands' pages haven't been updated since the Denmark reopening was announced on June 4th, and still says that non-EU travelers would have to have a valid reason for entry and quarantine for 10 days. Anyone have a read on whether this will be updated to align with Denmark's policy soon, or whether we should expect the Faroese to have a different entry policy for awhile
