If you’ve been planning a trip to Europe this year, LOT Polish Airlines just announced a sale on premium seats on their long-haul routes. While most airline sales feature economy deals, this promotion focuses on Premium Economy and Business Class, offering a much higher comfort-to-value ratio for travelers flying from major U.S. hubs.
With travel dates extending through October 2026, this is a prime opportunity to secure a Dreamliner seat during the spring and summer seasons when Poland is at its best. These promotional fares aren’t just limited to the capital city of Warsaw (WAW); you can find these same rates on flights to numerous other Polish cities including Krakow (KRK), Gdansk (GDN), Wroclaw (WRO), Poznan (POZ), and Rzeszow (RZE).
Deal at a Glance
- Booking Window: March 10 – March 15, 2026
- Travel Window: April 11 – October 31, 2026
- Destinations: Warsaw (WAW), Krakow (KRK), Gdansk (GDN), and several other regional Polish cities.
- Aircraft: Boeing 787-8 or 787-9 Dreamliner
| Departure City | Premium Economy (From) | Business Class (From) |
| New York (JFK) | $1,029 | $3,199 |
| Chicago (ORD) | $1,349 | $3,299 |
| Los Angeles (LAX) | $1,399 | $3,599 |
| San Francisco (SFO) | $1,549 | $4,499 |
Things to Know Before You Book
- Limited Availability: These fares are capacity-controlled. If you see the $1,029 price point for your dates, don’t wait until the March 15 deadline.
- The Fleet & Cabin: LOT operates an all-Dreamliner fleet on its long-haul routes. Most aircraft currently feature a 2-2-2 Business Class layout, which is incredibly spacious but lacks the privacy of newer suites. However, LOT is currently in the middle of a fleet-wide refresh. By the end of 2026, more aircraft will feature the new 1-2-1 configuration with individual privacy doors and 4K entertainment screens.
- Wi-Fi Alert: As of March 2026, LOT has finally begun rolling out Viasat inflight Wi-Fi on its Dreamliners (starting with registration SP-LSA). Business Class passengers now get this service for free, which is a massive upgrade over previous years.
- Beyond Warsaw: These fares apply to regional airports like Krakow (KRK) and Gdansk (GDN). Often, the price remains the same even with the short connecting flight from Warsaw, making it a cost-effective way to reach Poland’s coastal or mountain regions.
Why This Offer Stands Out
While the Business Class fares are competitive, the Premium Economy deals starting at $1,029 from New York are the real highlight. For a relatively small markup over a standard economy ticket, the upgrades are substantial:
- Generous Baggage: 2 checked bags (23kg each) plus 2 carry-ons (12kg combined).
- The Seat: A dedicated cabin with 38 inches of pitch and a deeper recline—essential for those eastbound red-eyes.
- Elevated Dining: Meals served on porcelain chinaware with a much wider selection of Polish wines and spirits.
Pro Tip: If you’re flying out of Chicago (ORD), Business Class passengers now have access to the brand-new LOT Business Lounge in Terminal 5. Opened late 2024, it features floor-to-ceiling airport views and a fantastic spread of traditional Polish pierogi and żurek.
Poland Beyond Warsaw: Where You Can Fly
While Warsaw is a world-class hub, these promotional fares are actually available to several regional Polish cities. This makes it much easier to reach your final destination without paying for separate domestic legs. You can find these same rates on flights to:
- Krakow (KRK): Perfect for exploring the Wawel Royal Castle and the historic Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz.
- Gdansk (GDN): A stunning Baltic port city known for its colorful Long Market and deep maritime history.
- Wroclaw (WRO): Famous for its picturesque bridges and the hundreds of small “dwarf” statues hidden throughout the city.
- Poznan (POZ): Home to the iconic Renaissance Town Hall and the famous St. Martin’s Croissant.
- Rzeszow (RZE): The gateway to the Bieszczady Mountains and a great base for exploring the castles of southeastern Poland.
Destination Spotlight: Wrocław
While most tourists head straight to Kraków, those who fly into Wrocław (WRO) discover a city that feels like a fairytale come to life. Known as the “City of 100 Bridges,” it’s built across a series of islands on the Oder River, connected by some of the most romantic walkways in Europe.
- Hunt for Dwarves: Scattered throughout the city are over 600 tiny bronze dwarf statues. What started as a surrealist protest against the communist regime in the 80s has become the city’s most charming scavenger hunt.
- The Cathedral Island Lamplighter: Every evening at dusk on Ostrów Tumski (Cathedral Island), a caped lamplighter manually lights over 100 gas lanterns. It’s one of the last places in Europe where this tradition still exists.
- A “Beauty and the Beast” Library: Visit the University of Wrocław to see the Aula Leopoldina. It is widely considered one of the most beautiful Baroque rooms in the world, filled with ornate frescoes and gold leaf that look more like a palace than a classroom.
- The Riverside Vibe: In the warmer months (perfect for this sale’s travel window), the riverbanks come alive with floating bars, beach clubs, and kayak rentals, giving the city a vibrant, Mediterranean energy.
