SAS flights open for self-service check-in 22 hours before departure, allowing you to check-in using the self-service terminals and the baggage drop in CPH Terminal 3.
Usually any SAS manual check-in counter in Terminal 3 will be willing to assist you checking in up to 22 hours before as well.

Check-in the night before
Usually when I fly overseas I check in at the CPH airport the night before, there are no lines and plenty of time to talk to the people at the counter and decide on seats. The real benefit is when you arrive in the morning just park in Terminal 3 garage, take the elevator right up to the Fast Track and ... you are right inside the lounge avoiding the crazy lines of people in the morning.

I check in with bags (2-3) the night before, this is of great convenience especially when I travel on the overseas trips. Never been told that it was not possible, I just do as normal go to the Gold counter and check in for my flight the night before in terminal 3.

You must have been lucky because I was told this was absolutely not possible, and this was at the Gold counter too.
I had to go and leave my bags at the Left Luggage office overnight and retrieve them in the morning.

Tried it last year with an early flight with LH (6am) - no problem check in the night before, but I wouldn't do it if I have a late morning flight or anything later than that.

Does SAS at CPH still refuse to accept to check-in bags for already checked-in passengers showing up with bags at CPH the night before departure on SK long-haul flights? I'm talking about 12-22 hours before scheduled flight time.

I put the question to them on Twitter. With the reservation that my flight was a short-haul one, the answer was an unconditional NEJ.

i was going to try to pull this off the night before a long-haul SAS trip out of CPH, but I didn’t attempt it a few weeks ago due to (ironically) shortage of time to try it out. I may try it later this week or next week just to see if I get told the same as you or if this is one of those things which can vary a bit from time to time.

Thanks for asking them and getting back to us about what you were told.

How early can you check bags on the day of the flight? My flight to MAN (connecting from a longhaul) was cancelled yesterday and I’ve been rebooked on a mid-afternoon flight to ARN, connecting to MAN today.
I’m thinking of going to the airport to check my bags first and going into the city for a few hours. So I'm talking about checking bags c. 5 hours before a shorthaul flight. I’ll be travelling in Plus.
I hope 5 hours won’t be a problem but thought I ‘d ask.
