(PRESS RELEASE) WARSAW, Poland, 2026-Mar-30 — /Travel PR News/ — LOT Polish Airlines has unveiled a broad expansion of its flight network for the 2026 summer season, offering travellers an extensive range of destinations across Europe, North America, and Central Asia. With the summer schedule now underway, the airline is combining newly introduced routes with the return of popular seasonal connections to meet growing passenger demand for both leisure and business travel.
From its main hub at Warsaw Chopin Airport as well as selected regional airports, LOT will operate flights to destinations including San Francisco, Almaty, Bergen, and popular holiday hotspots such as Majorca and Crete. The expanded offering reflects the airline’s strategy of balancing long-haul connectivity with a diverse European network.
Robert Ludera, Member of the Management Board for Commercial Affairs, stated that the updated network responds to passengers’ expectations for both new travel opportunities and familiar destinations. He emphasised that the expansion supports flexibility in travel planning, whether for short city breaks or extended holidays, while also strengthening Poland’s role as a regional aviation hub.
Domestic connectivity is also being enhanced, with seasonal flights between Gdańsk and Kraków operating four times weekly from late May to late September. This route offers a convenient alternative to road and rail travel during peak holiday periods.
LOT is also expanding its network from regional airports. From Gdańsk, new connections will include flights to Brussels, Oslo, and Bergen, providing passengers with access to both major European institutions and scenic Nordic destinations.
