Your Copenhagen ticket is not valid here: you need at least an Øresund ticket to or from the airport. Buy it before boarding, at the DSB machines or counter in Terminal 3, or in Skånetrafiken's app — there are no sales on the train.

Bring a passport or ID card: Sweden checks documents at Hyllie. A Nordic driving licence works for Nordic citizens; other Europeans need a passport or national ID card, and a visa where required. Without one, police may pull you off the train for a fuller check.

Two prices, two currencies, one ticket. Kr. 96 from DSB on the Danish side, SEK 150 from Skånetrafiken. Pay in the currency you are buying in; nothing here says which is cheaper, because no authority publishes a rate.

Every 15 minutes from 05:00 to midnight, then 00:25, 00:47, 01:02, 01:56, 02:55 and 03:56, every night of the week. The night trains take up to 30 minutes.

Not valid on SJ's trains to Stockholm and Gothenburg, which also call at the airport. Only the Öresundståg.
