Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "crew was good"
Cons: "crazy detailed search in goleniów"
Pros: "Plane was newer and the cabin crew were courteous."
Cons: "Gate people suck. I can’t even describe how rude and useless they were. There was a lot of them and none of them would have been better. I also was almost bitten by a large pit bull while waiting to board the plane."
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "Faster boarding, better food, more adequate announcements on delays"
Cons: "The loading was a mistake. We were bused out to the plane but they didn’t start until the planned 30 mins before departure and it took 90 mins so we left over an hour after we were scheduled. Landing so late that a number of people couldn’t make their connections"
Pros: "Comfortable plane, good entertainment and very good food."
Cons: "The plane departed over 2 hrs late and didn't make up any time during the long flight. Most of the other airlines flying long distances make up the time if the departure is delay."
Pros: "Seat was broken and did not recline. It was uncomfortable..."
Cons: "USB and power outlet were unable to charge my kindle.... what is the purpose of these if they dont work? Fix them please!"
Cons: "The entertainment system didn’t work at all the whole long haul flight"
Pros: "Everything went fast and smoothly."
Cons: "Food/snacks - little bit more"
Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "I had to switch seats due to recliner and tv remote did not work. Also, my baggage did not arrive on my flight. I had a 14 hour layover in Warsaw which was plenty of time to transfer onto plane. This also occurred on my flight to Germany."
Pros: "Generous service, excellent vegetarian meals (my special order), excellent telephone help prior to flight."
Cons: "Delayed boarding time with no information or updates provided, touch screen didn't work, bathrooms dirty toward end if flight."
Pros: "It was Ok."
Cons: "Luggage did not arrive in Los Angeles. Representatives not sympathetic. Luggage was delivered to my home the following day. I will probably not use this airline again."
Pros: "Everything went good. Thank you."
Pros: "Crew provided great service."
Cons: "Seat was not stable and moved when I moved. In the toilet the cover of toilet was falling down constantly. There was no Wifi (what is now quite ussual)"
Pros: "The crew was as if it didn’t exist and the seat was anything but comfortable."
Cons: "The seats could have some cushioning, they could have offered some water to passengers, they could have kept the boarding gates the same to save confusion and they could have honoured my choice of seating...what’s the point of giving me a choice when they are going to seat me wherever they please?"
Pros: "the crew was really amazing!"
Pros: "Flight from Paris to Warsaw number LO332 - L was delayed and i miss my flight to Gdansk."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Boarding process was terrible, delayed for 3 hours and I have missed my other flight"
Pros: "Overall it was a good flight"
Cons: "Some passengers arrive late 1 hour from transfer flight, but meantime plane crew started relocating existing passengers to different seats without checking if the seat is available, and that created chaos."
Cons: "Food and not enough entertainment"
Pros: "All in all, the seats had more legroom than I expected for economy. Much more than American airlines (AA, United, Delta). Love the direct flight as it saves so much time."
Cons: "This was the 4th flight I have taken between LAX and Warsaw...but was the first time that there were no beer nor wine available in between meal services. On a 12-13 hour flight, this was a definite disappointment compared to my other experiences on LOT. The other concern was there were only two meals, and no snack service on a very long flight. This again stood out in contrast to the previous flights I have taken on LOT."
Pros: "Business Class on LOT Flight No. 21 from Warsaw to Los Angeles is excellent! The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a beautiful plane and the Business Class seats are very comfortable. The food was pretty good and the flight attendants were extremely nice!"
Cons: "There was a two and a half hour delay for technical problems for our flight from Warsaw to Los Angeles on Tuesday July 24, 2018. There had been a two-hour delay for my flight in from Warsaw to Moscow, also for technical problems, on Friday July 13, 2018. Obviously, LOT needs to insure its planes are safe, but it needs to do so sufficiently in advance of take-off so that its passengers are not inconvenienced by lengthy delays."
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Change gate"
Pros: "Good"
Cons: "Flight cancelled with poor communication."
Pros: "Not much."
Cons: "This is about as budget as you can get. Entertainment systems didn’t work, drinks were warm. Food was mediocre. Bathroom doors didn’t work, and the toilet seat wouldn’t stay up while using it! Yuck! Had to shuttle EVERYWHERE between flights, before and after. Crew was not attentive, and not so friendly either. Only good note was the young lady who checked our bags in Warsaw and helped get our seats together (after the airline messed the seat assignment up in the first place). Ugh. Worst airline I’ve been on."
Cons: "Still waiting for our luggage two hours after deplaning. The luggage has not been unloaded from the plane. Hundreds of people still waiting This is unacceptable"
Cons: "arrived one hour late to krakow and my baggage was sent to warsow"
Pros: "Good service good food ever think in the time"
Pros: "The crew was pleasant"
Cons: "there was a lack of communication from the very beginning about the flight delay and then the automatic rebooking of my connecting flights to Kraków. Lot didn’t send out delay messages and I wasn’t informed at the airport either when I checked in."
Pros: "Friendliness"
Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "No on-board entertainment."
Pros: "Flight on time... arrived on time.... food was great...."
Pros: "In Frankfurt it went through Lufthansa and the extra suitcase costed me $40 more as I’ve been told on the LOT website. Paid €107 where the web page of lot said $75"
Cons: "After check in luggage I had to wait one hour to take care of the luggage price so I get my tickets. All this should have been do e before without going to different counter. Also I didn’t liked that I had to check in on the automated machine."
Pros: "Easy check in, accommodations for a seat preference, kind crew service on board, good food, free entertainment-good selection of movies and music, at no extra charge. on time going to WAW, and 30 min. early coming back to EWR. Flight coming back was cancelled due to technical difficulties, but no problems with rescheduling, LOT rep. was very helpful. No forced charges for checked-in and carry-on bags-BIG differentiator ! used 787 Dreamliner."
Pros: "I can't give any review, because I cancelled my flight."
Pros: "Crew was fine."
Cons: "Not a comfortable seat, no food and no entertainment."
Cons: "When I handed over my boarding pass, I was told I had to walk seven gates away for an "extra security check." I am 71 years old and don't run well. I only object to the fact that they did not have the security check available at the boarding gate - or they might have called my name and sent me over there well before beginning boarding. They did assure me they would wait for me but I was the antepenultimate person to board the plane and quite upset by the whole thing."
Pros: "Price of tickiet"
Cons: "Service"
Pros: "Smooth flight, polite employees, quick, comfortable. A decently good flight in my opinion. I did make it to my destination safely :)"
Cons: "Lot charged us a baggage fee, even though when I checked their baggage policy online it started that I was allowed one check I'm up to 23kg and one carry on for free. I even showed the guy the policy and he still denied me. False advertisement at its finest, you know what can happen to a business that has false advertisement.... Right?"
Pros: "Great cabin crew, everything on time, love 787 Dreamliner on long flights. Good food"
Cons: "Slow and hectic boarding in Warsaw"
Pros: "Decent new airplane. Nothing else really stands out"
Cons: "Economy class is not as comfy as Turkish. Food is decent, not good. No free beer :'( Too few movies and some equipment doesn't function well"
Pros: "I was boarded very professionally. I have a heart condition that requires medication. I explained this to the gate agent to request assistance in boarding and they complied with my request."
Cons: "LOT is not an airline that impressed me in any way. When I flew from Los Angeles to Warsaw, my bag was weighed, and I was told it was over limit. This, in spite of the fact that I weighed this bag on a calibrated scale prior to entering the airport, and my luggage was 5 pounds BELOW the limit. This seemed a blatant attempt to gain additional money from me, because I know the bag was not overweight. The food selections were average at best. Leaving Warsaw traveling to Los Angeles, we left almost an hour past our original scheduled departure do to the need to obtain additional supplies. On my next trip to Europe, I will look for alternate flight providers."
Pros: "It was very pleasant flight"
Cons: "Crew atmosphere"
Cons: "Bathrooms"
Cons: "Check in staff was unprofessional and extremely rude."
