Sterling

Flew EMA-CPA-EMA on 23rd and 25th this weekend.

Would say load was about 60 in both directions. the majority were Danes by the sounds of conversations at the gate.

I hope Sterlings flights do well.

Their ex-Maersk aircraft are a bit tired on the inside, with the hybrid scheme more than a bit dull. But the flights arrived early in both directions.

CPH is something to behold - by fare the most efficient airport I have travelled through. From aircraft to rail platform, including collecting baggage, in one non-stop strole. Then CPH to the Central Station is just 2 stops - about ten mins on the train, for DKK28,75 - about £3.00.

All this makes Copenhagen a great City Break. The City is good - compact enough to walk round. but man - is it expensive!!

Typically a 0.5L of beer would cost you 50DKK (£5.00+) . They bhest place we found price wise was an Irish Pub just off Vesterbro where Guiness is 28DKK.


One thing that is SO annoying at EMA is the arrivals area just before Passport control.

When our flight arrived (approx 60 pax) ours was the only flight in the building. 3 Circusair staff stood watching, hands in pockets, as we all had to walk up and down, up and down, up and down the pens.

Why not open the gates?? It really is not that difficult. Queue management is needed WHEN THERE IS A QUEUE. (Try managing a 2 hour queue outfront of LHR T3 - there's a challenge)

Just a gripe - but with the increasing number of inbound pax in to EMA this is just one of the simple things that EMA could do to make the EMA experience better.
