Fly from Berlin to Copenhagen

What airline would you recommend to fly between Berlin to Copenhagen.

The train is about 7 hours. Not sure but I think the train still goes on the ferry...that was a pretty cool surprise...I hadn't even considered that when we boarded the train! Personally I'd rather take a beating than fly most of the time...there is nothing pleasant about it.

I'd still take 7 hrs on a train over the hassle of flying

I agree - once I get to my destination, I don't want to jump on a plane until it's time to go home.

The train from Berlin to Copenhagen is comfortable and as Christi said, takes around 7 hours, which is not intolerably long. If you do take the train, I would suggest buying a seat reservation as it can get crowded.

And as Kim mentioned, it does not go on a ferry any more. Parts of the ride are quite scenic, though, and I enjoyed the view. You will make one transfer in Hamburg.

CORRECTED BELOW: XXXX The train from Lübeck to Copenhagen goes on the ferry, with dozens of tractor-trailers, as well as cars. If you want the two-hour (?) ferry ride. XXXX

There have been complaints this year, but I've been happy with Lufthansa in the past. I used a now-defunct bargain airline to get from Copenhagen to Dusseldorf in 2017, and was surprised it went fine.

EDIT: Thanks for the correction. That was only 5 years ago that I rode the immense, custom-built ferry with train tracks in the center. In 1987, I rode a float-barge to Norway from near Hamburg, locked in the train carriages (sans locomotive), bare barge no services or self-propulsion.

As noted above, not since they closed this to build the tunnel.

It's only an hour long flight. Choose the airline that offers the fares, times, baggage allowance that is best for you.

I have flown on three of the airlines that fly nonstop between these two cities without issues.

Rule 1--Stay on topic. Make your contribution relevant to the original post.

.... and this turned into a debate/discussion on whether the train uses a ferry ....???

Just an observation on how things sometimes wander off to a new subject.
