For some people, an airport trip can be an anxiety-inducing experience.

Concerns about baggage allowance, food availability and having enough time to get to your gate are common worries, but one airport in Denmark seems to ease these issues more than any other.

Conde Nast Traveller recently voted Billund Airport in Denmark as the least stressful airport in Europe, beating several more familiar airports to most British tourists.

Newcastle Airport was the only British representative in the top 10, with the northeast travel hub scoring an 80% rating, propelling it into sixth place.

But Billund Airport, located in a central Danish town made famous as the birthplace of Lego, has beaten all others to claim the crown of being Europe’s least stressful.

Billund Airport and Lego go hand in hand, with the world-famous brand putting the town on the global map.

So synonymous is the town’s relationship that the airport was built by Lego in 1964.

That is not to say that the original design was made up of multi-coloured bricks; it was built to aid Lego’s global expansion.

In the 1960s, as the Lego brand grew and demand for its products grew, Lego leadership based in Billund needed a simpler and more cost-effective way of transporting its products worldwide on a larger scale.

In 1961, Lego purchased land north of Billund to construct an airstrip that would suit the business’s needs. A small aircraft was also purchased to fly executives around Europe.

Since then, the airport has undergone several expansions, becoming the second biggest airport in Denmark and connected to most major airports across Europe.

Last year, 3,712,400 people passed through the airport, which, thanks to its proximity to the city centre, cheap car park charges, and variety of restaurants, was ranked first.

Many who pass through do so to visit the original Legoland, which was built and established before similar offshoots popped up worldwide.

The airport’s existence has brought development to the area that might not have happened had Lego not grown into a global phenomenon requiring global distribution.

Thanks to the airport, the town has a thriving tourism industry. Viking experiences, the endless bridge, and oyster safaris all entice visitors to experience the best of what Denmark has to offer.
