## Insider tips

- _Money_: The airport lounge is open to non-elite travelers for a fee of DKK 179—worth it for a relaxing wait.
- _Time_: Choose DELI airside for the fastest food options; it opens two hours before the first departure.
- _Local_: Try local beverage selections at the airport lounge, featuring regional specialties like snaps from Brænderiet.
- _Quiet_: The connected airport hotel can be a serene stopover, especially needed with no dedicated quiet zones in the terminal.
- _Insider_: Check baggage up to 23 hours ahead if you're staying nearby; the connected hotel offers this perk.
- _Avoid_: Don't plan on extensive landside dining options; get through security to access airside choices.
- _Time_: Heineken Gastro Pub serves until 8:00–9:00 p.m., ensuring you don’t miss out on a sit-down meal late in the day.
