Where LOT Polish Airlines Flies

LOT's network pairs long-haul routes to North America with an extensive short-haul network across Europe, funneling connections through Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW). Warsaw's position makes LOT a practical connecting option for travelers heading between the US/Canada and cities in Central and Eastern Europe that lack direct long-haul service.

Fleet & Onboard Experience

Long-haul routes are flown on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, while Embraer E-Jets and Boeing 737s cover the airline's dense short and medium-haul European network. Cabin classes include Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class on Dreamliner routes.
