PLEASE READ: Like everyone else, we are very concerned about the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have suspended all travels until at least late-June. However, we have decided to continue to publish videos as usual because luckily, within the past twelve months, we were able to record a lot more videos than we were able to publish. This means we will publish some older Tripreports we weren't yet able to cut and upload. And we have enough of them to continue to publish three Tripreports per week for the foreseeable future! We ask for your apology for having to upload some older videos which are not necessarily up-to-date. As always, you can see when a video was recorded in the description. Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone, especially those working in the aviation and travel industry, a lot of strength in this difficult time. Remember to wash your hands and stay safe! Greetings from Vienna, David and Felix

LOT Polish is a decent airline. Flown with them before from Singapore to Warsaw and return.

[@milosnikep07]

What LOT Fly to Singapore?

[@deano3580]

Singapore to Europe was and will be a popular route. Turkish and Finnair also very active on this route. Passengers change at destination for other points in Europe or fly on to USA.

[@notproplayer3649]

I like lot polish airlines (at least on short/medium haul flights), it ain't anything special at all but their flights are always on schedule and the seats are comfortable enough, I've flown with them lots of times and always had a good experience. Would recommend, very predictable company that does it's job like it should, something I can't say for most other European carriers.

Great shot of your bag on the belt...every time I see my bag go somewhere I always think of the song "When Will I see You Again" by the 3 Degrees.....released back in 1973 !! The Austrian may have been cheaper ?? It should be Australian beer !!! Glad your nuts were warm ( sorry ) It is interesting that many airlines have napkins with spot for the button on your shirt but not many people know it is there and why ?? I too am a Dennis Bunnik fan and had a message from him only yesterday.He is based in Adelaide South Australia and always says at the start of a video "here's to a great flight " !! Looking at the fog you were lucky to be able to land !! Great flight mate and I as always look forward to your next adventure and trust you and the team are safe and well in these most strange times !!

I know you’re kinda suspending travel at the moment, but once you start traveling again, one airline I noticed you haven’t done yet is Aer Lingus because I would love to see you guys do a trip report onboard Aer Lingus:)

Flown LOT economy, must say their 787-9 is one of the best. Economy especially. I fly every year, and service is great, seats are comfortable, IFE is better than most, and food is great.

God bless LOT for trying so hard. Seems like the FA were nice and professional... those hot little rags are shameful however... I am a former Flight Attendant and have seen the lose of real service over the decades but I am glad that the carriers across the pond still try to keep up as the service here in America is completely shameful .... Thanks for posting.

Why does David always flies in Business class and Felix always in Economy class, isn't that unfair?

Sometimes vice versa, David in Economy, Felix in Premium Cabin. But as far i watch video in this channel, Felix always flying rare aircraft or rare airlines, David always trying to make another content beside trip reports and Simon always flying in premium cabin.

During Pandemic 737 LOT Are mostly used at Route Warsaw-Szczecin Szczecin-Warsaw On Short International Routes LOT Use Embraer E195 Like to Chania LOT in Long International (Europe flights) Are use 737 somethimes a 787 to London and Long haul routes LOT Use this 787 before they use 767 in PRL they use IL-62

Business Class ticket with EUR 390.27 only? That's not even economy price for the same route...

[@aviationwithjeff]

LOT looks like it has a pretty good business cabin. The price seems really good for what you get. They flew out of LAX pre-covid. I'd be open to trying them if it works in my travel plans

[@planespottingmore9130]

Lot is decent but their problem is most of the flights are very expensive (depends on season) and on flights from Poland they are usually late

[@peterw3544]

This. My first flight with LOT was 8 hours late (2007). Since then they are usually 30 minutes late which they pilot makes up in the air. Not related but lately you have to wait an hour or more at Warsaw baggage claim as they release them in batches of 3-4 suitcases. Amazing

[@milosnikep07]

The Poland i think most popular route in Poland is route Gdańsk-Warsaw Warsaw-Gdańsk The Route is Go to City with beaches ,near Baltic Sea and to Gdańsk Gulf Poland Shortest route is Warsaw-Lublin Route have 150KM Lublin-Warsaw route have 150 KM
