Actually the bustour from Stockholm to Copenhagen is 8 hours and it is cheaper
than any low price airline (38 EUR, if you are max. 25, it's actually 31 EUR).
It's about 670 km.

I know of no low cost airline that can match the distance at that price, if you
include the costs that regularly are to get to and from the airport, taxes etc.

Also there is the stress of getting there in time, check-in, you'll have to buy
your own food onboard low cost arlines and so on.

All that could be taken care of by arranging some common transportation.
