1 · POSITION
On short-haul routes LOT’s Business Class is not a separate seat but a changed occupancy: the airline states that the adjacent seat is left at the passenger’s disposal. The row is the economy row, and what is bought is the space beside it, the table that space frees and the service attached to it. The product must therefore be carried by catering and by ground handling rather than by hardware. [1]
2 · A MEAL SIZED TO THE FLIGHT
LOT says it serves a meal tailored to the length of the flight and the time of day, and that the dishes are crafted using seasonal ingredients. Hot and cold drinks, wine and a selection of spirits accompany them. A Business Class ticket also carries access to business lounges at all main airports, together with priority check-in, fast-track and first baggage delivery. The table and the lounge are presented as one entitlement. [1]
3 · THE LOUNGE ENLARGED IN WARSAW
On 2 April 2025 LOT announced that the Polonez Lounge in Warsaw now offers over 860 square metres following a 153 square metre expansion, with more than sixty additional seats. The new section holds a self-service bar and a conference room with a screen and power outlets. The former Elite area was enlarged and renamed the Polonez Gold Lounge, its loungers able to be partitioned for privacy. A treatment zone, Relax Spot by Phenomé x LOT, was added. [2]
4 · ONE PALETTE ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR
The lounge colour scheme is deep navy blue, copper tones and amber, which LOT says reflects its visual identity. The airline applied the same register to its Boeing 737 MAX 8 cabin, announced on 2 January 2026 and designed by Tangerine, a UK agency specialising in aircraft interiors; the seats were manufactured in Poland by RECARO, with a six-way adjustable headrest, a 60W USB-C port and a mobile device holder. LOT describes the palette as drawn from the Tatra Mountains and the rising sun, continuing the visual language of its lounges in Warsaw and Chicago. [2, 3]
5 · ⚑ CANDOUR
⚑ The free adjacent seat and the meal description are LOT’s own account of its short-haul cabin; they say nothing about the long-haul Boeing 787 product, which this entry does not cover. No designer is named for the Polonez refit, and the areas and seat counts are the airline’s figures. The continuity of palette between lounge and cabin is LOT’s claim rather than an observation. The MAX 8 interior was entering service on the day it was announced and is to be introduced gradually across the fleet. [1–3]
