Copenhagen Airport -- International to Schengen connection?

score:2

Accepted answer

How much additional effort would it require if I have a checked-in bag compared to a carry-on bag?

If you booked this as a single itinerary the answer is "none" and there is no need to read any further.

However, this sounds like a self-connection (i.e. two separate bookings). In this case you have to pick up your bags, carry them through customs and bring them to the Norwegian check in counter or bag drop.

It's not so much about effort but about timing. You already have a very short layover for an international self-connection. Bringing checked luggage will significantly increase the risk of missing your second flight. If you do, you are "no-show" and may have to buy a same-day ticket which can be quite expensive.

Personally, I wouldn't do this, but everyone's risk tolerance is different.

With luggage you need to collect it and haul it to terminal 2, it's roughly a 10 minute walk. Then print luggage tags and use the bag drop (I recommend you to use the smaller luggage tag printers instead of check in machines if you've checked in online). Then you need to go through security again, but security lines are most often shorter than the bag drop deadline.

Without checked luggage you can walk straight to the gate once you've passed immigration. There is only one terminal airside, terminal numbers are only for check-in.
