What is the sunflower lanyard at Copenhagen Airport?

A quiet sign for hidden disabilities.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

The sunflower lanyard is a ribbon you can wear at Copenhagen Airport to show staff that you have a hidden disability and may need extra time, patience or consideration. It is meant for people with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, autism, Alzheimer's, dyslexia or arthritis who want to travel on their own. You get the lanyard from the Passenger Service staff who walk around the terminals. Staff will not ask about your diagnosis, only how they can best help you.

The sunflower lanyard gives you fast track through security.

What actually happens
