Do you need to take your laptop out at Copenhagen Airport security?

CT scanners keep electronics in the bag.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

No, at the new security checkpoint at Copenhagen Airport electronics can stay in your bag. The checkpoint opened on 19 May 2026 with 20 CT scanners that make 3D images of the hand luggage. You can also keep your watch, belt and shoes on. The liquids bag is the exception: it still has to go visibly in a tray next to your hand luggage.

Why

  1. Electronics can stay in the bag.
  2. Watch, belt and shoes can stay on.
  3. The liquids bag still goes in a tray.

Details

The checkpoint has 20 lanes about 22 metres long where four passengers can pack their trays at the same time, and up to a third more passengers get through per hour than before.

Tip

Have the liquids bag at the top of your bag so it is the only thing you need to take out.

What may differ

At other airports, also on your return trip, you may still have to put laptops and tablets in a separate tray.

Common misconception

At every airport laptops must always come out of the bag.

What actually happens

With the CT scanners at Copenhagen Airport electronics can stay in the bag; the rule depends on each airport's equipment.
