There's a story going viral about Katarzyna Richter, who identifies herself as Operations Director for LOT Polish Cabin Crew. She has only been in this position since April 2019, but according to her LinkedIn has worked for several other airlines, including…
Lithuania is a small European country located in the Baltic region. It has a total population of around 2.8 million. Its capital, Vilnius, has an international airport handling 3.8 million passengers each year, which is not even in the top 100 airports…
This story makes zero sense to me, though it's confirmed by a LOT Polish spokesperson, so I have no clue what to make of it. The Daily Mail has the story of how a LOT Polish 787 was only allowed to depart Beijing Capital Airport last week after they…
Star Alliance member LOT Polish has an interesting long haul route network, in that they only fly to a handful of destinations in North America, but do so from multiple gateways in Central/Eastern Europe. They current operate the following North America…
A couple of days ago I wrote about the news that LOT Polish was planning on launching new transatlantic flights out of Budapest. Hungary has been without a national airline since 2012, and they've been desperate for some year-round transatlantic service.…
Now this is interesting (at least to me). Back in 2012 MALEV, the flag carrier of Hungary, went out of business. While Budapest still has service from all kinds of airlines, at the moment they're left without their own airline. For a long time Budapest…
In October 2016, LOT Polish announced that they'd add 4x weekly flights between Warsaw and Los Angeles as of April 3, 2017, which was yesterday. LOT Polish is a solid airline, and their longhaul fleet consists exclusively of 787s with fully flat seats…
Yesterday I posted about how LOT Polish will be launching flights between Warsaw and Los Angeles as of April 2017. This represents the third Star Alliance airline to start transatlantic service to Los Angeles within a year, with SAS having launched flights…
Man, the Star Alliance transatlantic growth at LAX continues! Earlier this year SAS launched flights between Los Angeles and Stockholm, next April Austrian will launch flights between Los Angeles and Vienna, and now another airline is joining the club.…
Here's a simple but cute idea. Through January 6, 2015, LOT Polish is hanging a mistletoe on each of their airplanes. Here's the press release: "LOT Polish Airlines has kicked off the Christmas holidays with KISSaLOT. Mistletoe twigs have been hung in…
In a way there's an inverse correlation between award availability and the ease of searching that space online. In other words, as much as I appreciate when airlines make it easy to book award tickets online, it also means there's a lot more competition…
We boarded shortly after 7:30AM, and I quickly took my seat, 2A. There was no row one on the left side of the aircraft, so it was actually a bulkhead seat, though a very spacious one at that. For those of you not familiar with intra-Europe business class,…
We left the hotel at 5:30AM for our 7:40AM departure out of Warsaw Airport. While that's earlier than I'd usually leave, we were heading to China on a 72 hour transit without visa, so I wanted to be sure we were leaving a bit extra time just to be on…
After my flight on LOT Polish last year from Warsaw to Chicago on one of their older 767s, I was curious to see how their 787 experience compared. We boarded through door 2L, and upon presenting our boarding passes to the cabin crew, were directed left…
Hopefully my perspective will be a little different from Lucky's, as someone who's not quite as accustomed to premium travel as he is. I think on this trip, Lucky found out that having me along was the equivalent of having 13 black cats for travel companions.…
My initial thoughts on LOT Polish's 787 service between New York JFK and Warsaw. Thoughts on the seat, food, service, and amenities. Was it better than my LOT 767 business class flight from Warsaw to Chicago last January?
While hardly significant in the grand scheme of things given that the arrangement only lasts a week, this is interesting nonetheless: Finnair and LOT Polish Airlines have signed an agreement by which Finnair’s New York route will be operated by one of…
