Compensation under EC Regulation 261 applies to all flights operated by LOT Polish Airlines.

Delayed flight with LOT Polish Airlines

If you experience a delay of 2 hours or more at the departure gate, LOT Polish Airlines must provide you with free refreshments proportionate to the length of the delay.

If the length of the delay at the arrival airport is 3 hours or more, you are also entitled to financial compensation of 250 eur to 600 eur depending on the distance between the two airports.

You will only be entitled to financial compensation if the delay is the fault of LOT Polish Airlines. You can read more about this in the article Compensation for flight delays.

Cancelled flight with LOT Polish Airlines

If LOT Polish Airlines cancels your flight more than 14 days before departure, you are entitled to a free change of date or a refund of the original ticket price.

However, if your flight is cancelled less than 14 days before departure, you are also automatically entitled to financial compensation up to 600 eur.

Again, compensation will only be due if the airline cancels the flight and not due to unforeseen circumstances.

Where to apply for compensation

LOT Polish Airlines has a special contact page for requesting refunds and compensation at lot.com/forms.

However, airlines often try to avoid compensation and drag out entire claims by ignoring and lying, so contact the agency directly.
