LOT POLISH AIRLINES CANCELLATION POLICY REGARDING COVID 19 PANDEMIC

Lot Polish Airlines have been very understanding of their passenger’s situation at this time. The airline itself is going through a lot but that doesn’t stop them from being generous to their passengers considering that they cannot do anything about the pandemic.

For all those cancelled flights scheduled between 15 March 2020 and 31 October 2021, passengers are given a few options on how to go about it.

*First of all, passengers can get a voucher or an airline credit upon cancelling. You can use this credit in your future booking of flight along with seats, meals, special service request, etc. It will be valid for 2 years from the issuance date.

And if your newly booked ticket costs less than the originally cancelled booking, you would get back the fare difference as a new voucher which will be valid for 24 months again. One of the best features of this concept is that it is transferable. If for any reason you couldn’t travel within the given span of 2 years, you can transfer that voucher to someone else of your choice.  

-To make a new booking with your voucher in the future, you can go to lot.com and tap on “Manage my booking”

-Get the “Ticket exchange” form

-complete the normal choice of flight

-You will get a confirmation email of your exchanged booking

-You can also contact the airline or third party if you booked your original ticket with them.

*Second choice for passengers would be to change their departure with no fee. You can book a new flight any time before 31 December 2021. 

If your booking is for 15 March 2020 and 31 March 2021, you can change your flight with no penalty for any date before 31 December 2021.

If your booking is for 1 April 2021, you can change your flight with no penalty for any dates which are 30 days before or after the original departure date. If 30 days before or after the original departure is not available, the first available date after 30 dates will be counted.  Even if there is any fare difference, passengers don’t have to pay.

If a passenger deliberately books a flight for a date after 30 days from the original date, he/she has to pay fare difference if any.

In any case, considering this exchange concept, one has to book a flight within 1 year from the original date. 

If your original departure date is before 31 December 2020, upon rebooking/exchanging you would get a 30% discount on your next booking.

If your original booking is between 10 September 2020 and 31 October 2021, you are allowed to change your date and routes multiple times within 1 year from the ticket issuance date with no cost.

*Thirdly, passengers can seek a refund if your booking is cancelled because of the pandemic. It doesn’t matter what fare type it is.

*For any group booking, passengers are requested to contact their point of sales.
