Southwest Florida's palm-lined runways feel a world away from the Danish waterfront, and that contrast is precisely what makes this itinerary satisfying to plan well. There's no nonstop option here, since no carrier flies RSW to CPH directly, so business class from Fort Myers to Copenhagen requires a routing through a major domestic hub before crossing the Atlantic — typically Delta via Atlanta or JFK, American via Charlotte or Philadelphia, or United via Newark or Chicago. Delta's transatlantic metal often features the Delta One suite with a closing door on 767 and A330 aircraft operating into Scandinavia-adjacent gateways, while American frequently pairs with its joint-venture partner Finnair or British Airways for the long-haul leg, and United leans on its Polaris cabin from Newark, which in recent years has rolled out updated Polaris seating on select 767 and 777 aircraft. I've routed through Atlanta more than once specifically because Delta's connection banks there are tight and reliable, minimizing the layover stress that can undercut an otherwise premium experience.
The insider move I always recommend: build in a two-hour buffer at your connecting hub during winter months, since Fort Myers' RSW gets seasonal congestion from snowbird traffic that can ripple into afternoon delays, throwing off tight international connections. Arriving into Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is refreshingly smooth — it's compact, well-signed, and rarely overwhelming even during peak Nordic summer travel, so you won't need excessive buffer time on arrival the way you do at larger European hubs like Frankfurt or Heathrow.
Late spring through early autumn — May through September — consistently offers the best combination of award availability and fare value on this corridor, largely because Copenhagen's tourism season aligns with when premium cabins open up more seats to entice early bookers. Given how much routing and pricing fluctuates week to week across these three carriers, setting up fare alerts for this specific city pair is the smartest way to catch a premium-cabin deal before it disappears.
