What happens if you get off the Flight at AMS instead of going through to Copenhagen

you can expect to lose the rest of the ticket.... and stay on in Europe needing to find another way home

the hidden city ticket only works when you bail out at the last stopover (which you desired to do anyway) and didn't fly the FINAL LEG

Helpful @Milboo ... I couldn't find it over weekends for the dates I was searching in Sept/Oct

This is a midweek promotional fare - you wouldn't be able to depart on a weekend (except maybe Sunday evening).

Yep. With Y and J flights in Europe so cheap if CPH isn’t your final destination you can just pick up a revenue fare

 

[CaptJCool]

In light of the other expensive J fares in the market, treating it as a one way ticket and getting off in AMS might well have been cheaper

I do note there’s a $5533 airfare ex Sydney via Manila (Phillipines airlines) and Dubai (EK to Copenhagen) for the same time period now on the top of the price list for those dates

Some availability ex Melbourne

If you missed the Copenhagen flights, the 20% off SUMMERSPLASH code brings return J flights MEL/SYD to London and Paris on selected dates down to around $5,500, which isn't too bad either.

I can find SYD-VIE for $5,076 too if you play around with dates.

I managed to book this and ticket it. Now waiting to find out whether it is actually going to happen...fingers crossed. Any tips for things to do/see in Copenhagen (actually quite excited about going there even though it is not where I ultimatley want to end up)?

That is a cracking fare! Especially for VA platinums with first class lounge access in AUH! Hopefully this is the start of some good deals ex AU again

do VA platinums really get first class lounge access in Abu Dhabi? Can you bring in a guest?

Yes and yes
It’s a very nice perk and a great lounge IMO

 

[dena7056]

That is great. Now wishing I had a longer layover in Abu Dhabi

Well the obvious thing to do in Copenhagen are things like the Tivoli gardens and the little mermaid and of course Danish open faced sandwiches!

But then denmark is also very close to most other Northern European capitals and fares can be quite reasonable so no reason to limited to just one city.

Maybe a couple of days in Lapland?

We flew SAS from Copenhagen to The Faroe Islands in recent years.

An absolute gem of a place to visit - highly recommended. Trip report here -

A visit to The Faroe Islands - the road *LESS* travelled! - STAMPBOARDS - Postage Stamp Chat Board and Stamp Forum

I've been to about 150 different countries, and this is top 3 at least.

There’s been a few promo fares to CPH (multiple airlines), but yes easy to get to anywhere in Europe/UK etc. Especially since Denmark can be hideously expensive to visit.
