Tips for booking LOT Polish Airlines flights
LOT's direct transatlantic routes to Warsaw often undercut connecting itineraries via Frankfurt or Amsterdam on price, especially from Chicago and New York where LOT has strong presence.
LOT is a Star Alliance member — United MileagePlus and other Star Alliance programs earn miles on LOT flights. Miles & More (Lufthansa's program) also partners with LOT.
June through August is peak season for Poland tourism. Booking 3 to 4 months ahead secures the best transatlantic and domestic fares for summer travel to Kraków, Gdańsk, and Warsaw.
