Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Oct is the cheapest for CPH → CMB. Best time to be there: Dec–Mar.
Fares bottom out in October around $593 and peak in March near $938 — a $345 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 12.5 hours outbound, on a 10-night trip — ticketed under Pegasus, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $593 for 7,961 km each way, that works out to about $37 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 22 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Colombo, this fare ranks 9th — 24% above the $477 from Istanbul. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 33 routes of similar length we watch out of Copenhagen, where the middle fare is $773.

How far in advance should I book CPH → Colombo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Copenhagen to Colombo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Pegasus. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
