Its usually overpriced and cheaper options are available.

Have you tried skyscanner?

Where are you travelling from?

I took LOT one time to Heathrow and it was very comfortable, so quality wise they are good.

Used them once before Prague to Helsinki via Warsaw, pleasant flight attendants and good service would use them again in the future. Spartan is correct though they are a overpriced airline, try skyscanner or even cheapoair.

Took two flights in one day with LOT airlines, it's a bit overpriced, but the flight attendants were nice and beautiful.
If i remember correctly I got two giant muffins with chocolate as dessert, and they tasted good.
I'll say 7 or 8 out of 10, for the service.

Flown Warsaw to London with them,perfectly good airline. They have good pilots too,check out the emergency landing video on YouTube from a couple years back. All landing gear failed and he had to touch down on his undercarriage. Pulled it off with aplomb.

Known as 'lots of totty' in the airline trade due to hot hostesses.
As opposed to 'take another plane' (TAP....a Portugese/Brazilain airline)

I personally like LOT, flew with them a few times from Chicago to Warsaw, flight attendants very friendly, always plenty of nice looking polish girls on the flight, as well as many hefty grandmas.

I do Chicago to Warsaw on LOT all the time -- also do Warsaw to Gdansk regularly.

Prices are fair, codeshare mileage accrues stateside automatically, and op-ups are readily available if you ask nicely in slaughtered Polish.

I have flown quite a few times to Warsaw on business trips with LOT. Between Budapest-Warsaw most of the time they operate smaller aircraft, which I don't prefer, but the quality of the service is ok.

I like them. They one of the few airlines that fly into Odessa.

I've flown them into Krakow and out of Warsaw. Perfectly adequate and part of the Star Alliance if frequent flyer miles mean anything to you.

i remember taking them from warsaw to moscow as part of a star alliance leg.

first off, it was hysterical because we walked down the jetway thinking we were getting onto a place, when instead when we got to the end of the jetway, there was a BUS waiting for us.

What do you call Plane in polish? BUS.

Anyway then we rolled out to the tarmac and the next site made me laugh so hard. LOT had apparently just leased all these old Embrayer jets where you could literally see the old PAN AM lettering under one coat of new paint. And all these jets were out there on the runway with buses and shit bringing people to them...

all the while, they had just built this huge new international terminal and there were no planes at any of the gates!

and finally, maybe because of old bullshit but the LOT flight didn't land at the fancy new moscow airport but rather at the old communist one with no fucking luggage conveyors or anyone that spoke english anywhere. just a crummy old building with a pile a luggage on the floor. i was blown. away. at the new airport when we flew out a week later after seeing what i saw at first there.

either way, the flight was fine, food a little weird and other odd shit - but it was no worse than any budget airline

Reaper, when was this? Flew them last month on 2 flights within Europe and they were quite good

They treated me well, I like Polish women in general, they are humble.

When I went to Ukraine I took Lot part of the way, and I had to get a connection in Germany.

I had extra luggage ( a guitar) and it was an extra piece above my allotment. I tried to drop i off early with a Lufthansa guy because Lot's counter wasn't open yet. The Lufthansa guy was by the book and was going to charge me like $400 for it.

I asked for the guitar back, said I didn't want to do it until I could talk to a Lot employee.

Then the Lot counter opened ( about 8 Am) I explained I was a bit desperate, I couldn't afford the crazy charge. The sympathetic, tired looking older Lot woman employee found some "musical instrument" category and asked ( and took my word for it) that is was under 15 kilos and asked me if something like $50 was OK. ASKED me, not TOLD me like the young German guy did.

He was pissed too when I told him forget it and pulled the guitar off the scale. An unpleasant experience.

+10 for Lot for saving me and being nice about it instead of patronizing.

However, I a Luft super jumbo on the way back to Fattieland, and it was great. Stews flirted, it was much quieter than earlier design planes, I'm a big fan. No need for sound suppression headphones. Air felt much fresher.

I've used them a few times due to being part of star alliance. They're fine to me. Ofc they're a national carrier so not as cheap as say whizzair but more service.

I actually got put on their new dreamliner last week to warsaw after my lufhansa flight was cancelled. Seats were surprisingly good, much better than anything I've been on recently. Same goes for their Embraers.

Post: #16

was supposed to fly today, but LOT cancelled their flight to China. SO i got transfered to lufthansa instead.

think they dont have enough money to pay for fuel.read some news its going bankrupt.

i got my return flight on Janurary from China to Paris through warsaw, not sure if the airline will still be operating though. you should check

Post: #18

ended up flying with them...big mistake.
lights which don't work, no personal tv despite being a trans atlantic flight, mix up with my seat selection, etc ...
