Copenhagen
Copenhagen has eleven new winter routes to offer, with the Scandinavian airline SAS launching two new routes to Thailand, with flights to both Phuket and Krabi, two airports on the Andaman coast.
The rest of the new flights will perhaps be less of a draw for foreigners in Denmark wanting to escape the mid-winter darkness.
SAS has launched a new route to Mumbai, which started on October 1st, and also a new daily service to Dubai, which launched on October 25th and will operate until March 27th.
Salam Air is launching a new route to Baghdad, as a stopover on the way to Muscat, and Syrian Air launched a new route to Damascus just before the winter programme was announced.
There's good news for Brits, especially those from the north of the country.
Ryanair is launching direct flights to Liverpool, in the northwest UK and Birmingham in the UK Midlands. EasyJet is also launching direct flights to Birmingham, and is also starting a new route to Newcastle.
More adventurous types might be interested in the new flight to Ilulissat, the new international airport that describes itself as "the gateway to northern Greenland".
Air China, which already operates a route to Beijing, is now starting a new Beijing–CPH–Reykjavik service.
As well as new flights, there also some seasonal flights to ski destinations, with SAS running four flights a week to Scandinavian Mountains Airport, near the Swedish ski resort of Sälen, from December 17th until March 28th, with additional peak season flights on 12th, 13th, 19th and 20th of February.
