How we work these out

We scan the real departure and arrival schedules at Copenhagen Airport, then match an early morning outbound (before 08:00) with a late evening return (landing back after 21:00, including red-eye arrivals). We only keep destinations within about four hours' flying each way, so every trip on this list is a genuine there-and-back-in-a-day adventure. The list refreshes as schedules change through the seasons.
