Øresund train to København HorØresund train to Malmö C?
The short answer
These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Øresund train to København H reaches Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport on the metro, København H on the train — the ends of Strøget; the Øresund train to Malmö C does not. Runs east across the Øresund bridge to Malmö, in Sweden — not into Copenhagen. It is here because the airport is 25 minutes from another country's third city and everything about the ride is a trap: the ticket, the currency, the passport and the platform.
The Øresund train to København H is quicker: 13 min against 25 min. The Øresund train to Malmö C varies between 24 and 30 minutes.
Øresund train to København H: Runs all night. Øresund train to Malmö C: Runs all night.

Where each one leaves you
regional · Öresundståg (run by VR Sverige for Skånetrafiken), on a DOT ticketØresund train to København H
From
The railway station under Terminal 3 — read the screens for the track, and board a train for København H or Østerport, not one for Sweden
To
København H in 13 minutes, via Tårnby and Ørestad; Nørreport 5 minutes later, then Østerport
Luggage
Intercity-style trains with racks and space by the doors.
Runs
All night
Journey
13 min
The same platforms serve Malmö. Trains toward Sweden and trains toward København H share the station under Terminal 3; the airport's page says to read the screens in Terminal 3 for the track. A wrong choice here ends at a passport check.
Every 15 minutes from 05:00 to about midnight, then 00:01, 01:12, 01:57, 02:57, 03:57 and 04:30 every night of the week, from the Öresundståg timetable valid to 12 December 2026.
The airport says there are no ticket sales on board and a fine without a valid ticket; buy at the DSB machines or counter in Terminal 3 or in the DSB or Rejsebillet app.
Same time as the metro to a different station: 13 minutes to København H against 13 to Kongens Nytorv. At night the metro is the shorter wait — every 8 or 20 minutes against hourly.
regional · Öresundståg (run by VR Sverige for Skånetrafiken); DSB sells the Danish-side ticketØresund train to Malmö C
From
The railway station under Terminal 3 — a train marked for Sweden (Malmö, Helsingborg, Kalmar, Karlskrona, Växjö or Göteborg), from the same platforms as the trains into Copenhagen; read the screens for the track
To
Malmö C, the central station on the north edge of the old town, via Hyllie (12 minutes, where the police check documents) and Triangeln
Luggage
Intercity-style trains with racks and space by the doors; a bicycle needs its own Øresund ticket.

24–30 min
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.
