From Northern to Southern Europe – New Additions to the LOT Network

Whether it’s indulging in a grand Greek feast by the Mediterranean, taking a long walk surrounded by volcanoes and geysers, enjoying the stunning views of Maltese beaches, or seeking architectural inspiration on a weekend getaway, LOT Polish Airlines has something for everyone this summer. Last Monday, 31 March 2025, LOT launched its inaugural summer route from Krakow Airport to Paris-Orly. This season, the national carrier is also set to welcome its first passengers on flights from Warsaw to Reykjavik-Keflavik (starting 12 April), Malta (beginning on 16 April), Thessaloniki (starting 17 June), and from Warsaw-Radom Airport to Barcelona (beginning on 14 June).

European-Style Holidays

When searching for inspiration for a brief weekend getaway, destinations that offer a mix of historical, cultural, or culinary attractions are ideal. Cities like Venice, Nice, Athens, and Vienna certainly tick all these boxes. This summer, trips to the enchanting city of gondolas and exquisite masks will become more frequent. Additional flights will also facilitate a deeper engagement with the ancient monuments of Athens, each narrating stories from eras long past, or allow you to experience the distinct sounds of the Vienna State Opera more often. Moreover, you’ll have more opportunities to explore the charm of the French Riviera, with Nice serving as its unofficial capital.

Making Dreams Come True Across the Ocean

For those seeking an extended escape from daily routines, our national carrier invites you on transatlantic adventures. The route to Miami, now enhanced with an additional flight, offers more than just its iconic beaches and lifeguard stands. It’s an ideal spot to dive into street art culture with a visit to the Wynwood district or to soak up a Caribbean vibe strolling through the streets of Little Havana.

Another superb option for a more extended holiday is the ever-bustling Chicago. Its iconic Cloud Gate sculpture, a massive bean-shaped mirror-like artwork, is a must-visit for travel photos. Here, you can immerse yourself in authentic American culture and draw energy from the city that never sleeps. This summer, LOT will boost its Chicago service with additional rotations, operating a total of up to 16 flights per week (including 12 from Warsaw and 4 from Krakow).

Canada is set to be another captivating travel destination this summer. LOT Polish Airlines is increasing its flights to Toronto, with services running 15 times a week. This city of contrasts offers numerous historical sites and tourist attractions. Among these is the renowned CN Tower, standing at 533 metres, with an observation gallery at 446.5 metres that provides sweeping panoramic views of Toronto, Niagara Falls, and even the United States across the lake.

Riyadh and Tashkent – The Orient Within Reach

For those passionate about exploring different cultures and seeking new experiences, the capitals of Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan offer exactly that. The allure of the Silk Road and the legendary monuments of Samarkand, Khiva, and Bukhara add unique destinations to the global travel map, now more accessible through LOT Polish Airlines with increased connections. Riyadh, the vibrant capital of Saudi Arabia, is not to be missed either. It serves as a bustling hub of trade and culture, where state-of-the-art infrastructure meets traditional sites. This summer, LOT offers flights on the WAW-RUH route up to four times a week.

Balkan Paradise and Mediterranean Climate

Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Macedonia feature in LOT Polish Airlines’ summer schedule and are popular with Polish travellers for many good reasons. Here, each day starts with sunbathing, and every path leads to idyllic beaches. The local cuisine is sure to impress, offering fresh seafood and fish, rich spices, and refreshing wines that cater to even the most discerning palates. A complete holiday experience is guaranteed. Convenient flight times, such as WAW-TGD at 10:35 or WAW-SKP at 10:50, ensure that you can enjoy these destinations’ delights as soon as you land.

Split deserves special mention, making a return to LOT Polish Airlines’ summer schedule. As the capital of Dalmatia, Split is home to Diocletian’s Palace, one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it a must-visit. Additionally, the Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach, situated on a narrow spit, allows visitors to bask in the sunshine from both sides. It’s also a prime location for water sports enthusiasts, offering excellent conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Far East Asia

This summer, passengers of LOT Polish Airlines have the opportunity to fly daily on the Warsaw-Tokyo route. Tokyo, a diverse metropolis, draws travellers from around the globe with its vibrant mix of attractions and distinctive ambience. A visit to the Shinjuku district is essential; it’s known for housing the world’s largest underground station and is a bustling hub adorned with colourful neon lights. The area is also famous for its atmospheric restaurants and pubs, as well as luxury shops, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Tokyo.

Barcelona and Preveza – Sunshine Within Reach

LOT Polish Airlines is offering exciting options for passengers departing from Warsaw-Radom Airport in its summer schedule. This season, in addition to the long-established connection to Rome, travellers can journey to Spain’s vibrant Barcelona and Greece’s picturesque Preveza, destinations where the sunshine consistently delights visitors. Barcelona is home to numerous attractions, including the architectural wonders of Antoni Gaudí, while Preveza offers the chance to explore ancient secrets at the renowned archaeological site of Nikopolis.
