These trains depart approx. every hour from the airport between early morning until 20:30. When arriving in Odense, take the escalator, turn right when reaching the top of the escalator follow the stream of people, take the escalator downward and then turn left. Busses to Kerteminde normally leave from point "D". All ICL trains, regardless of final destination, stop in Odense.

Some IC connections require you to take the "Øresundstog" to Copenhagen main station and to board the IC train there. Be sure not to enter the Øresund train to Sweden. Normally , trains to Copenhagen leave from track 2, and trains for Sweden leave on track 1, but exceptions occur.

It is about 100 m walk from the bus terminal in Kerteminde to Tornøes Hotel. If you stay at the Youth Hostel, stop at the hotel, from where we can guide you over.

For precise departure times, seat reservation and purchasing tickets see here. Sunday evening is main travelling time, so it is recommended to make a seat reservation. Since the ticket office and ticket machines in the airport may be rather busy, it is recommended to buy your tickets over the internet. If your plane is late, the ticket remains valid for the entire day, although the seat reservation (30 DKK) does not. Bus tickets are sold by the driver. You need Danish currency for this. Seat reservation for buses cannot be done but should not be necessary.
