Many airports are a bit of a blur to business travelers, as they bustle from one gate to another or speed toward the taxi stand after snatching their luggage from baggage claim. But Copenhagen Airport deserves more lingering, and travelers might actually look forward to a lengthy layover.

Founded in 1925, the airport was one of the first civil airports in the world, and quickly became an attraction even for those who weren't flying—drawing families to picnics on the grassy fields nearby so they could watch birds and airplanes both take flight. After World War II, when air travel was accessible to more than just the wealthy, the airport began a building boom, and now sees over a quarter of a million takeoffs and landings every year.

Located just outside the Copenhagen city center, the airport is now Scandinavia's main terminal, functioning as the hub for SAS and boasting a number of restaurants and shops that definitely take the sting out of arriving early for a flight. Business travelers can cruise the Internet thanks to an iPass connection that provides coverage throughout the airport. You may want to visit www.tax-free.dk for an extra 20% discount on all tax-free products ordered online. You can order online up to 24 hours before departure from Copenhagen Airport. Or why not schedule an impromptu meeting by using one of the airport's meeting rooms or spacious lounges? Maybe rushing to the taxi line doesn't seem so urgent after all.
