Someone please confirm that CPH's website is severely outdated, please...

https://www.cph.dk/en/practical/trav...20in%20Denmark

Which specific item(s) on there are you wanting to confirm as being outdated or not?

Almost everything. Mainly no mention of vaccinated travelers from OECD countries and the new age minimum.

Test before boarding

• You are required to present a negative test prior to boarding a plane bound for Denmark. The test must at the time of the boarding be no more than 48 hours old.
• Passengers traveling from a yellow country or a yellow region in the EU and Schengen do not have to present a negative test to board the plane.
• The requirement to be tested prior to boarding flights bound for Denmark does not apply to children up to and including the age of 12.

Passengers in transit

• Passengers in transit, who remain in the airport’s transit area to fly out of the country, are not required to be tested upon arrival to Denmark. You are, however, still required to present a maximum 48 hour old coronavirus test before boarding a plane bound for Denmark.  
• The requirement to be tested prior to boarding flights bound for Denmark does not apply to children up to and including the age of 12.

Then it’s at least partially out of date, as Americans have already arrived into CPH with the CDC cards accepted to clear Danish formalities and remain as visitor in Denmark for what are “non-essential” purposes/visits without any prior substantial connection to Denmark.

They should get around to updating that website. UM.dK and coronasmitte.dk are more accurate.

From the transit page...

I think we can all agree that Baby Swede (13 years old) is exempt from needing a negative COVID test. She also vaccinated--but she will only be on day 13 of her second dose.

However, Miss Swede (16 years old) is fully vaccinated. Is she required to also present a negative COVID test even though she is vaccinated (second dose was early April)? SAS's website also states, "accompanying children of vaccinated adults are excepted [sic] from pre-flight testing and quarantine. Children 15-17 years will be tested upon arrival in Denmark," which would severely cause issues with our 45-minute connection in CPH.

Honestly, I think it's just easier if we all have a negative COVID test as well as our vaccination cards and let the border officers figure it all out.

Not safe to assume, but this webpage seems to imply that a COVID test will not be required after June 11. I think I'll call the Danish Police arrivals hotline on Friday.

Argh.

I dipped my feet into the current offer of buying lifemiles with a bonus of up to 175%. 23000 x 2.70 = 62100 miles at a cost of 23 x $33 = $759, which is very close to the price of the RT economy tickets each for this summer that I purchased directly from SAS in November. We'll be using the lifemiles for a nonstop SAS return flight next year. Not available for our fall trip dates, but that's still fine with SQ at 27.5K as the fallback solution; SAS at 30K, UA at 33K. By the way, do you benefit from douple-dipping with 5% on Amex Platinum purchase for the lifemiles?

I would never advise anyone to park money in Lifemiles. Avianca is a financial wreck. I only buy what I can use for quick ticketing after purchase.

Yes, Amex Plat gives 5 points per $ on Lifemiles purchases.

Yes, and I do plan on using those miles soon and wouldn’t have parked them until I could afford the loss. Still, if I understand it correctly, it’s worth noting that the LifeMiles frequent flyer program is a separate company, and LifeMiles isn’t part of the Avianca bankruptcy proceedings.

That is correct, but if Avianca liquidates — or is seen as on the cusp of liquidation— Lifemiles access to Star Alliance award space will dry up fast and entirely and it won’t be able to get cheap access to partner airline seats.

Denmark Opens Border To Vaccinated Americans

Denmark Has Reopened For Fully Vaccinated Visitors

You mean, like Topbonus?

It would appear the Danish politicians are having a meeting today discussing further reopening of the country. Half of all Danes 16 years and older have gotten a first shot, so it’s time to talk about expanding restaurant hours, easing restrictions at cultural events equal to soccer games, not to mention the future of the coronapas and mask wearing. I for one can’t wait to experience firsthand how the residents are coping with the steadily sunnier everyday life and to enjoy a cold Carlsberg and some herring!

I'm itching to try it, but am not aware that SAS or any other airline in the Nordic region is one of the "Airlines Trialing IATA Travel Pass".

IATA Travel Pass Initiative
https://www.iata.org/en/programs/passenger/travel-pass/

For many tourists, to enter various public places, an antigen test is the route to take. It’s free and valid for 72 hours from the time taken.

“... whether you have had a negative test result within the last 72 hours ... It can also be in paper form if necessary."

Here’s where you can get tested.

Having poked around the map, it would appear Denmark’s PCR test sites are handled entirely by Sundhedsministeriet / Danske Regioner / Synlab, while the sites for antigen tests are distributed among three companies:

Copenhagen Medical in the greater Copenhagen area and Bornholm (Region Hovedstaden), Carelink on Fyn and in southern Jylland (Region Syddanmark) and Falck in the remaining Sjælland and Jylland (Region Sjælland, Region Midtjylland and Region Nordjylland).

Synlab: to make taking the test easy, register below and show the barcode when getting tested. This allows you to get the result by email when available, which you can show when entering public places. See also post 21 in this thread.

Documentation for COVID-19 test for those without NemID

Copenhagen Medical: download the app below and register, which works really well. CPR-nummer and NemID are not required nor is a Danish smartphone number. Test result registered in Min Sundhed for coronapas with a CPR-nummer, otherwise the text with the test result includes a link for downloading a PDF. You can even register multiple people on a single phone.

A negative test (if no locally recognized vaccination card) is not needed at grocery stores and public transportation, but is required at say restaurants, libraries, movie theaters, museums, even some outdoor places such as Tivoli. Per June 14, no longer at libraries and leisurely club activities.

I think I saw the ability to upload vaccine info somewhere to SAS during the dummy booking process I have done recently. I don't know what all the use is of that or if it is part of IATA's initiative but it might be a baby step forward. And thank you very much for information about antigen testing. I expect to finalize a booking to CPH sometime this week and, assuming the requirements for entry to buildings and indoor dining still exist when I get there, I will avail myself of testing (unless the magic CDC vaccination card allows me to bypass all that).
