Denmark: Billund Airport – King Amlet Lounge – Really good breakfast

Billund Airport - The King Amlet Lounge

Sister T and I went on a package vacation to Fuerteventura vacation. The flight was out of Billund Airport, which is the second largest airport in Denmark and close to where Sister T and my parents live. Departure was not until around 10am, but we went there well in advance to have breakfast in the King Amlet lounge.

I have LoungeKey on my Visa card, so I have free access to the lounge, and I can bring one guest along. If you travel a lot, like I do, LoungeKey is great, as you have access to lounges in most larger airports around the world. It may not be the fanciest lounges, and you pay an annual fee for the LoungeKey feature, but just being able to sit down in quiet surroundings and have a cup of coffee and a snack before your flight is well worth the cost.

King Amlet Lounge is one of my favorite lounges. In the morning, they have really nice rundstykker (Danish breakfast rolls), and if you arrive around lunch or dinner time, there is always a nice selection of small dishes and snacks of a very good standard compared to other LoungeKey lounges in Europe. The lounge is also rather big, considering the small size of the airport, so there is always plenty of space available, and the staff is nice and friendly, and down to earth, without that snobbish attitude, which unfortunately is rather common among lounge staff at certain other places.

I used to work in the airline industry for more than 10 years. My first job was in Billund, as a flight attendant for an airline called Maersk Air, so I always feel a bit nostalgic, when flying out of Billund as a passenger. You probably know Maersk from container shipping, and they also used to have an airline, but it went out of business many years ago. When I am flying as a passenger, I often bump into old colleagues, who are still working as airline pilots or cabin crew, and while I do not miss working in the airline industry, it is always nice to hear what they have been up to, and where they have been.

We flew with Novair to Fuerteventura, and had a really nice trip, which you can read more about on my Fuerteventura Blog

Welcome to my blog about The Heart of Jutland. I grew up in a small village just outside Fredericia, so this part of Denmark has always had a special place in my heart. Even after many years of traveling around the world, this is still where I feel at home. Fredericia is the city where I spent most of my childhood, and it is also the place I think of as home when people ask where I’m from. Later in life I worked at the hospital in nearby Kolding, and for several years I flew out of Billund Airport as cabin crew. Through work, family, and everyday life, I have therefore spent a lot of time in this area and had plenty of opportunities to explore the towns, the countryside, and the coastline. There is truly a lot to experience here. Historic towns, beautiful nature, great restaurants, and plenty of things to see and do. It is also one of the easiest parts of Denmark to visit, whether you are flying into Billund or traveling through Jutland. Here on the blog I share my favorites from the Heart of Jutland. The restaurants I keep coming back to, cafés that are worth a stop, and the places and experiences I would recommend if you want to discover some of the best that the Heart of Jutland has to offer.
