Icelandair flights to Copenhagen

As countries open up again, travel restrictions are fast-changing. Travelers should look into the current rules that apply to them for the destination they wish to visit (for example, requirements for a COVID test or possible quarantine, what documentation is required), and also for rules that apply to their return trip (for example, the need to quarantine after returning home).

Entry rules

As of Saturday, September 26, 2020, travelers from Iceland are not permitted to enter Denmark without legitimate purpose. A legitimate purpose can be:  

• Employment, residency or education  
• Close family relations with people residing in Denmark
• Business with a foreign embassy in Denmark   

More information can be found on the official website of the Danish authorities.

Also on the official website of the authorities, you can see the restrictions around arrivals, quarantine requirements, and other related information.
