Domestic airports are generally situated between two or more cities that are within easy reach of each other. Internal flights are usually of no more than 30 minutes' duration. Domestic airlines include SAS (SK) and Sterling Airlines (SA). Discounts are available on certain tickets bought inside Denmark. By rail: Copenhagen is connected by rail to all other major European cities. All international trains connect with ferries where applicable. The national rail company is Danish State Railways. The Englænderen boat-train runs between Esbjerg and Copenhagen and connects with ferries from the UK. DSB passenger fares are based on a zonal system. The cost depends on the distance travelled; the cost per kilometre is reduced the longer the journey. By road: All the major road networks of Europe connect with Copenhagen; some routes involve ferries, and it is advisable to book these in advance. The 18km- (11-mile-) long toll Great Belt bridge and tunnel, linking Copenhagen (which is situated on the island of Sjælland) with the island of Funen, provides a seamless surface connection from the European continent to Copenhagen. It includes the world's second-longest suspension bridge at 6.5km (4 miles) long. A second bridge and tunnel, the Øresund connection, links Copenhagen with Malmö in Sweden. Tolls are applicable for both bridges. Car-hire: Available to drivers over the age of 20, and can be reserved through travel agents or airlines.
