Denmark to Copenhagen - flying cheaper than train?
 
I find ScanRail for $ 300+, and flights for maybe $ 125. 5+ hrs, versus 1 1/2 hrs, plus to and from the airport. Seems like a no brainer.

Denmark to Copenhagen? Is that like New York to Manhattan?

This weekend I'm taking a camel from Philadelphia to America. Won't cost me a cent.

Perhaps it's the Denmark in Iowa, or Maine, or New York, or South Carolina, or Tennessee, or Wisconsin. Or even somewhere else.

I don;t know - $300 seems lke an awful lot to stay in the same place.

Care to clarify?

OOPS! Guess I was tired when I posted. I meant Stockholm to Copenhagen! Cheaper to fly?!?

Last summer SAS was offering special fares between Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm and (I think) Helsinki for about $75 each way. I don't know what the requirements / times were except that you had to buy the tickets in the US.

Check http://www.whichbudget.com for budget flight information, and be sure to tack on the cost of transport to/from the airports. If the SAS deal is available, obviously that's very good.

$300 seems like a lot even not staying in the same place. :-)

Not knowing when you're traveling, I can't give specifics, but on the Swedish Railways page www.sj.se, Stockholm to Copenhagen is usually closer to $140 (1093 SK), and less if you get an advance purchase deal.
