Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Nov is the cheapest for CPH → SYD. Best time to be there: Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr.
Fares bottom out in November around $1,097 and peak in June near $1,585 — a $488 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 21 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under China Eastern, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,097 for 16,041 km each way, that works out to about $34 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $40 typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 33 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Sydney, this fare ranks 17th — 35% above the $814 from Los Angeles.

CPH → SYD, answered.
Is $1,097 a good price for Copenhagen to Sydney?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $1,270 round-trip and this fare is 14% under it, about $173. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Copenhagen to Sydney?
Across 6 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Sydney are Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book CPH → Sydney?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 6 months of cached fares, Nov 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 Sydney?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under China Eastern. 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.
