Passenger looking for information about LOT Polish Airlines refund policy

LOT Polish Airlines refund policy states that this airline has to provide refunds to passengers who had flights cancelled and couldn’t get on another available flight.

8 days before my flight, I just received an email stating: "We regret to inform that due to the administrative decision to suspend air traffic between Serbia and Poland, all PLL LOT flights scheduled on this route from September 25 to December 18, are cancelled." - however, I travelled on this same route, only 2 weeks before, from London via Warsaw to Belgrade.

On 24/11, I received an email from LOT, stating the following: 'We regret to inform that due to the administrative decision to suspend air traffic between Serbia and Poland, all PLL LOT flights scheduled on this route from September 25 to December 18, are cancelled.' However, this is wrong because I used this same airline to travel from London to Belgrade, via Warsaw, only a couple of weeks earlier. I have proof of this, should you need it. Please note, the airliner did promise to refund the ticket, but as yet, failed to do so.


Anastasiia from France (LOT Polish Airlines LO 754 Denied boarding)
September 12, 2020, 7:15 pm

I have a French visa D-type in France. It allows me to enter via any of the European Union countries, multi-type. At the time, when the flight tickets were bought it was no problems with a lockdown in Switzerland or Poland. But on the 1st of September Poland closes its borders for Ukrainians, it was the reason for an airline not to board me. I had current for the 48 hours negative Cvid-19 test, but they didn`t ask me about that. Also, at the airport, they give me a document with the reason not to board me (REFUSED BECAUSE OF COVID 19). Also, I have bought a train ticket from Geneva to Grenoble, but I also lose it and couldnt ask for a refund, because i didn`t come to Geneva at that day and it was too late to ask for refund. I can provide you all these documents, just send me an email


We'll help you get compensation for last 3 years, if your flight was delayed, cancelled or if you were denied boarding.
