Getting to Denmark from other countries and SAS ( Scandinavian Airlines )
From Middle East & Asia.
Basic connections can be with SAS ( direct flights during winters ) Strange thing is that this is made only with the assumption that Danes would need to get out of Denmark to warmer locales and not the other way around. Go Figure! They understand that if you really want to visit , you'll figure a way out...
So the options are connects with Lufthansa, Air France, KLM , Austrian and Aeroflot etc. From main cities in EU you can either connect with SAS from the capitals or take cheaper EU carriers like Sky Europe, Sterling, Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Veuling etc.
Average prices from Asia and Mid East are about 1200 USD.
Travelling within Denmark, one has to say that there is a good network within Copenhagen city ( buses, Metro and S tog (Train ) ) http://www.rejseplanen.dk/bin/query.exe/en is a good site to plan and route your connections from any point to any point within Denamrk provided you have the exact address. You can purchase Clip Korts ( Clip cards ) that are applicable in all 3 or buy the copenhagen card that allows free access for 24, 48 hrs etc
The city is divided in zones and the number of zones you move in , you clip your card.
Tickets and Discount Clip Cards
Ordinary basic tickets can be purchased from vending machines at stations, ticket offices and on buses from driver (not cards though).
The tickets are stamped with time, date and departure zone. You pay for the number of zones you need, but the minimum fare is for 2 zones and the maximum for 7 (all) zones.
Discount clip cards are available for 10 journeys within two, three, four, five, six or all zones. It is cheaper per journey to use a discount clip card than to buy a ticket. Before your journey starts, you punch the card in a yellow card-clipping machine on a bus, at a station or on a local railway train.
Each clip entitles the passenger to travel within the number of zones indicated on the face of the card. By clipping the card more times you can travel in a greater number of zones than one clip allows.
The text on the discount clip card explains how many times you need to clip. If a group of people travel together, the card must be clipped the number of times required for each person.
Discount clip cards are available from more than 900 outlets (stations, HUR-ticket offices, many newsagents, supermarkets etc.) You must keep tickets and discount clip cards throughout the journey and present them to ticket inspectors on request.

2 - 3 zones: 1 hour
