Three zones, not four. Zone 4 to zone 1 is a three-zone ticket at kr. 30 under DOT's ring-zone rule; the metro's own page says you pay for a maximum of three zones. The four-zone ticket at kr. 40 is valid and wasteful.

It runs every night of the week: every 8 minutes after Friday and Saturday, every 20 after Sunday to Thursday, between 01:00 and 07:00. Every 2 minutes in the peaks and 3 the rest of the day.

Journey times are Rejseplanen's: 13 minutes to Kongens Nytorv and 15 to Nørreport. Metroselskabet says "14 minutes to the centre" without naming a station; the airport says 15 to Nørreport.

This ticket does not cross the bridge. For Malmö you need an Øresund ticket from the airport, and a different train.
