LOT Airlines

I note that LOT Airlines First Class return to Singapore from Heathrow is only GBP 1400

Next cheapest is GBP 3900.

Anyone got experience of LOT long haul?

They don’t have aircraft with long haul First class.

Matrix is showing 737 to Warsaw and 787 Warsaw to Changi for flights starting Sept next year.

Try and book first class on their website http://m.lot.com/gb/en/new-connection-to-singapore

It’s a Dreamliner from WAW-SIN which is good.

Very clunky website.

I'll wait until later next year to look at it again.

Just wondered if anyone had flown LOT.

Have you done the Swiss flight yet? If so, was it good?

Yes we flew end of September.
Only BC from LHR to Zurich.
FC lounge in Zurich was excellent and the meal we had there was very good. We were the only two people in the FC lounge.
The FC flight from Zurich to Changi was good but nothing too special above BC.
The missus could sit opposite me when we ate our meals so that was nice. The cheese platter was epic.
First time I've had poached eggs for breakfast in the air and they were cooked just right.

We flew Vietnam Airlines soon after they started their Dreamliner service from Hanoi or HCMC to LHR. They were trying to make their mark.
Maybe LOT will be trying the same, but the reviews in your link weren't too hot.

Interesting, sounds like it wasn’t that much better than BC.

For the flight itself I'd say it was no better than BC except for the 23" LED and the poached eggs.

But we got the tickets at a good discount.

I've flown LOT short-haul from LHR to WAW in economy a couple of times.

I prefer it to BA as you get free luggage and snacks.

Cannot comment about long-haul, best to checkout the appropriate forum on FlyerTalk
