LOT Opens Year-Round Bangkok Flights as Long-Haul Network Grows
LOT Polish Airlines has opened ticket sales for a new long-haul service linking Warsaw with Bangkok, with flights scheduled to begin on 26 October 2026. The route will operate throughout the year, adding a major Asian destination to the airline’s expanding intercontinental network. Bangkok becomes LOT’s next long-haul launch following the recent announcement of services to San Francisco.
The Warsaw–Bangkok service is planned to operate five times per week. Departures from Warsaw are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with return flights also running five days a week. The airline says the service is planned as a year-round route, responding to steady travel demand between Central Europe and South-East Asia. Flight times place Bangkok within a single long-haul sector from Poland, without the need for intermediate transfers.
Bangkok’s addition fits into LOT’s longer-term long-haul planning, where Asia is taking up more space in the network. The airline links the decision to sustained passenger interest driven by tourism, trade, and business travel across the region. Adding Bangkok gives LOT another non-stop intercontinental route and further anchors Warsaw as a practical starting point for long-distance travel outside Europe.
A direct service to Bangkok removes the need for intermediate stops when travelling to Thailand and other destinations in the region. Bangkok is a common transfer point for travel within Thailand, including routes to Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Samui, as well as for flights further across South-East Asia. Using a single arrival airport for these connections shortens routing options and makes onward travel easier to organise, particularly for longer or multi-stop trips.
“Congratulations to LOT Polish Airlines on the occasion of launching flights from Warsaw to Bangkok. This success is the result of the hard work, cooperation, and strong determination of LOT Polish Airlines, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Royal Thai Embassy in Warsaw, and numerous other related agencies from both countries. We believe that in the future it will not only benefit tourism but also create opportunities for trade, investment, and education between the two countries. Most importantly, the Thai people are ready to welcome all visitors with warm hospitality."
The introduction of a year-round Warsaw–Bangkok service signals a more stable approach to long-haul travel, moving beyond peak-season scheduling. The year-round service allows trips to Asia to be planned beyond peak seasons, covering leisure, business, and extended stays. It also points to the increasing role of Central European airports in long-haul routes.
