Regarded by the two million inhabitants and the millions of visitors who come to the Danish capital every year as a “Friendly old girl of a town”, Copenhagen is a city with plenty of character and a unique charm.

Big enough to offer visitors a truly memorable experience, but still small enough to feel intimate and charming, Copenhagen is one of Scandinavia’s jewels.

Book a flight ticket to Copenhagen and explore Denmark's capital city. A cosmopolitan city teeming with café culture, world-class restaurants and history, Copenhagen is also one of the most eco-friendly cities in the world. Design, fashion and architecture are evident in on every street corner and culinary delights ensure the city's restaurants are abuzz with activities each night.

Considered one of the five most liveable cities in the world, Copenhagen has a tantalising blend of modern and old, which keeps visitors coming back for more. Fly to Copenhagen between the months of May and August when the long, sunny days are perfect for exploring.

Thailand has become one of the most popular destinations in the world. The resort region of Phuket welcomes travellers from all over the globe, including business travellers and entrepreneurs. 

Passengers flying from Phuket with Qatar Airways will find that this airport – the third busiest in Thailand – is incredibly warm and welcoming, with the customer experience at its core focus. 

Professional, attentive staff make sure every aspect of your journey is smooth and hassle-free, and the airport’s exceptional facilities make this starting point to your journey one to remember.

Transportation and parking

The easiest and quickest way to get to the airport from downtown Phuket is by taxi, and limousine services are also available and can be arranged through your concierge or hotel reception. 

The journey by taxi from the centre of the city to the airport takes approximately an hour, but can be longer if traffic is heavy. So if you are travelling during the morning or evening rush hour then allow extra time for your journey, and agree to the fare beforehand. 

An alternative is the Airport Bus, which is a dedicated bus route taking approximately 80 minutes to reach the airport from the city centre. Parking is quite limited, with space for around 400 cars in the short and long-term car parks, so it may be advisable to make alternative arrangements for your car and travel to the airport by alternative transport means.

At the airport

Passengers flying from Phuket with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 2. The airport has undergone major redevelopment in recent years, and the terminal’s facilities have been upgraded to cater for the growing passenger traffic as well as larger aircraft. 

The increased capacity means that the airport can now handle around 30 departures an hour, and the upgraded check-in process has certainly helped ease congestion. However, as with all airports, security is tight so allow around two hours before you are due to board to check-in and go through the regular security checks.

Facilities and amenities

The airport houses a considerable retail area with Duty Free shops, local stores selling souvenirs and trinkets, as well as luxury items. Look out in particular for quality jewellery pieces at affordable prices. Currency exchange and ATMs are located throughout the airport, and Wi-Fi access is free for the first two hours. 

The main restaurant is on the third floor, serving authentic Thai food, and there are several snack bars, fast food outlets and other beverage stands throughout the terminal.

Tourist attractions

Copenhagen’s iconic monument has to be the Little Mermaid, a sublimely beautiful bronze statue by Edvard Eriksen that celebrates the life of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen.

But this culturally important city also has plenty of other attractions to offer, including a thriving arts scene that’s ably represented by a plethora of galleries and exhibitions. The Danish National Gallery is a great starting point, or visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek gallery for a selection of more classical paintings.

A great, hands-on science attraction is the Experimentarium, while the highly regarded Copenhagen Zoo focuses on conservation, and has an iconic tower that stands in the centre of the zoo.

One of Copenhagen’s most recognisable landmarks is Rundetårn (the Round tower). A climb to the top is well worth it for the spectacular views across the city. And to find out more about Denmark’s rich history visit the Nationalmuseet in Indre By to see an extensive collection of Viking artefacts and treasures.
