Poland’s flag carrier, LOT Polish Airlines, has confirmed that it will launch year-round non-stop flights between Warsaw and Bangkok on 26 October 2026, finally answering years of demand from tour operators and the Thai tourism board. The announcement, made on 24 December, establishes the first direct air link between Poland and Thailand and will run five times a week using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
Thai Tourism Authority data show arrivals from Poland jumped 30 % in 2025 to more than 213,000 visitors, generating roughly US $500 million in revenue. The new route is expected to push those numbers higher by eliminating the need for connections through Middle-Eastern or European hubs and by offering attractive afternoon departures from Warsaw and morning returns from Bangkok.
Before making travel plans, passengers should double-check entry requirements. VisaHQ’s Poland portal (https://www.visahq.com/poland/) streamlines Thai visa applications and offers real-time updates on documentation, processing times and fees, helping both leisure and corporate travelers secure paperwork well ahead of their flights.

For corporate-travel managers the service adds a valuable one-stop option into Southeast Asia’s manufacturing and energy corridors, cutting typical journey times by three to five hours. HR teams relocating staff to Thai assignments can now build more predictable travel itineraries, while Thai multinationals investing in Poland gain a faster link for executive visits.
Warsaw Chopin Airport, which handled 18 million passengers in 2025, continues to position itself as a Central-European hub. The Bangkok addition follows recent long-haul launches to San Francisco and Seoul, reinforcing LOT’s strategy of leveraging Poland’s growing outbound tourism and business travel markets.
Tickets went on sale immediately, and early-bird promotional fares are priced about 15 % below comparable one-stop products. Travel buyers should lock in 2026 allotments early, as initial seat inventory is expected to sell quickly.
