Is there a family lane at Copenhagen Airport security?

Easier security with small children.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, families with young children under about 6 years can use the family lane at the security checkpoint. Baby food, breast milk, water and boiling water are exempt from the liquid rules, so you may bring more than 100 ml in your hand luggage. Put these items visibly in a tray at screening, and expect that they may be selected for an extra check. With children, plan to arrive 2.5–3 hours before departure.
