Sort of the same bump but someone correct me if I’m wrong in assuming I’m in basically the same situation, but I’m not familiar enough with CPH to know if EasyJet arrives in another unconnected terminal area to the long haul/*A flights.
I am flying EasyJet TXL-CPH on one ticket and then SK CPH-SFO on another. It’s a short 4 day trip to Berlin so I may just do only a carry on. If I get my BP on the app or print it can I stay airside? I’ll have about 3h connection so if I do end up checking a bag I wouldn’t see why that’s not enough time to go landslide, claim my bag and re-check it at the SK counter?

Yes as everyone said it's very easy, you can stay airside. All of the gates are connected. only separated by the Schengen and non zones. In the end I had loads of time and got a bit bored I ended up going through passport control just for a change of scenery.

That's quite normal in CPH. All you need to do it proceed from your arrival gate in the Schengen area through passport control to the non Schengen area. You will not have any lounge time. But the connection is fine.

Yes, 45min is enough but since ARN-CPH operates dozens of times a day while CPH-BOS just once... I would rather take a easier flight from ARN. Missing the BOS flight will be probably more inconvenient than leaving a stockholm an hour earlier.
the problem is, the SAS webpage usually doesn’t show all options for longer layovers. You will need to call in or book through a third party.

Upcoming connection in CPH (SFO-CPH-FRA all in SAS business class) has me hanging out for 5 hours. Any best practices / suggestions for a layover of this length?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

It is a bit short to go anywhere outside the airport. If you are very hungry, I would recommend trying the restaurant called MASH. But if you are not really hungry, I would just hang out at the lounge. Maybe do a round through shops and cafés.

With 5 hours transit time at CPH, I have found it’s possible to manage to get into and wander around central Copenhagen for 2-3 hours.

Please let tell me your opinion if this is comfortably doable:
All tickets on SAS, business class...USA passport
11:30p EWR ---> 01:10p CPH, SAS 902
Layover in Copenhagen, Denmark 50m
CPH 03:35p ---> MUC, SAS 2657
If it matters, arriving/departing CPH on a Sunday. Thanks!

You should be perfectly fine unless the EWR service has a significant delay (touch wood not). That said, queues at passports could be painful at times but no security after that so straight to your next gate. Also, it is not uncommon practice for SAS to wait for connecting passengers (within a reasonable time-frame, it goes without saying) so I’d not worry even if your incoming flight is slightly late.

You will have time for a beer and a lunch around the channels in cozy Christianshavn (in decent weather). Metro station with same name, 12 minutes direct ride from airport. Fast track back in will take max five minutes.
