LOT unveils nonstop Warsaw–Bangkok route, deepening Poland-Asia connectivity

LOT unveils nonstop Warsaw–Bangkok route, deepening Poland-Asia connectivity
LOT Polish Airlines confirmed on 18 December 2025 that it will launch a year-round Warsaw-Bangkok Suvarnabhumi service on 26 October 2026, operating five times weekly with Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners. The announcement comes as Polish outbound leisure travel to Asia rebounds and corporate links with Thai manufacturing clusters intensify.

Flights will depart Warsaw at 14:25 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays under flight LO65, arriving in Bangkok the next morning. Returns (LO66) leave Bangkok at 08:45, reaching Warsaw at 14:40. The schedule offers same-day onward connections to LOT’s European network, giving Thai exporters a faster route into Central and Eastern Europe while providing Polish businesses direct access to ASEAN markets.

For mobility managers the direct flight trims at least three hours off typical one-stop itineraries via Doha, Dubai or Frankfurt, reducing duty-of-care exposure linked to tight layovers. LOT says its long-haul product will include newly upgraded Premium Economy seats and family kits for travellers with infants—a nod to the growing share of blended business-leisure journeys.

Travel coordinators juggling visa requirements for these new itineraries can streamline the paperwork through VisaHQ. The service’s Poland portal (https://www.visahq.com/poland/) provides up-to-date guidance for Polish nationals traveling to Thailand as well as Thai citizens heading to Europe, offering group application handling, courier pick-ups and real-time status tracking that align neatly with LOT’s expanded schedule.

The Bangkok launch follows LOT’s earlier 2025 announcement of a San Francisco route and underscores the carrier’s strategy of building a hub-and-spoke model at Warsaw Chopin Airport. Airport operator PPL, which is expanding terminal capacity by 20 %, hailed the move as proof that Warsaw can vie with Vienna and Munich for transfer traffic.

Companies with regional headquarters in Poland now have greater scope to base Asia-focused staff in Warsaw, leveraging Poland’s lower cost of living while retaining nonstop access to a major Southeast-Asian hub.
