But usually you need to go through security again even if re-connecting to a Non-Schengen flight destination. I've experienced this in several schengen airports (but not specifically CPH) First thing they should do is check the airport cameras (edit: they did), and given that this person has identification from some countries I'd say you have a good clue of what has happened "and street maps of “an unknown foreign city.”" Humm I think there are certain people that might help with this

> But usually you need to go through security again even if re-connecting to a Non-Schengen flight destination. No you don't. Only if you went to a different terminal or something. You can very easily stay in the airside area (indeed this is exactly what you're meant to do if you're taking a connecting flight).

  "No you don't" is not the case in neither FRA, CDG or AMS, I assume CPH is the same, though I never did this specifically at this airport - you have to go through x-ray and sometimes there are some boarding pass or passport checks But if you have specific experience in this airport I'm all ears

  As far as I know (having gone through a security training to get an airport pass): it depends. There are mutual security standards audits and inspections after passing them one airport (or aviation authority) accepts the other one’s security screenings and then you don’t need to go through security again at the intermediate airport. So traveling quite a bit you will find weird things.

    It depends massively on the airport layout. If you transit domestic to international at Heathrow Terminal 5 you don’t need to re pass security, just a boarding pass check and can stay in the sterile zone. If you fly out of another terminal though you have to transfer to the airside non sterile zone. If you transit at Helsinki from the U.K. to the far east then no security check needed, but if you transit from Helsinki through london to Africa you do go through security Some airports just do security at the gate. Some airports have multiple security at the gate - the airport/country, then a second security check by the airline. Then there’s the spot checks, I’ve been through a second check occasionally flying out of the U.K. (MAN and LHR) to the US, normally don’t get it, but sometimes do. There are no hard and fast rules.

Not sure about Copenhagen, but transit terminals are a thing in Europe. There you do not, legally, enter the coubtry, your baggage is transferred to your connecting flight and you don't show your passport to anyone. Besides the airline personal checking your boarding pass and passport to make sure you are on the correct flight and are actually who the ticket says you are. Weird. Someone at Copenhagen airport will have to answer some rather unpleasant questions about this.

  See my other comment, you don't usually disembark in the terminal, but in a separate area This might be true in some cases but it is usually not the case in the Schengen airports I know

    There usually aren't any controlls between non-Schengen flights, arribing and departing at the same terminal, in FRA and MUC. Pretty much depends on airport layout, whether or not there are seperate terminals. If not, you have at least a passport control.

      In FRA I did have to go through X-ray again, not sure someone checked the boarding card though (and sometimes there is an extra passport check at the gates - depending of the origin)

        As I said, depends on where flight originate and where they go. And to / from which terminal. For sure so you can change flights at MUC and FRA without passing security or border controls.
