We extends the duration of the current schedule of domestic flights until June 19, 2020. As part of the renewed route network, passengers can already enjoy flights from Warsaw to Gdansk, Krakow, Poznan, Rzeszow, Szczecin, Wroclaw and Zielona Gora as well as a flight on the Krakow – Gdansk route. All flights are carried out according to the #FlySafeWithLOT procedure, which increases the protection and comfort of passengers and on-board crew.
We resumed passenger flights yesterday. The renewed route network includes approximately 30 domestic flights, operated from Warsaw to Gdansk – up to three times a day, from Warsaw to Krakow, Poznan, Rzeszow, Szczecin, Wroclaw, Zielona Gora – up to twice a day and from Krakow to Gdansk – once a day. The current schedule will be valid until June 19. The introduction of further destinations, including international ones, depends on local administrative regulations and the current epidemic situation in a particular region.
Our priority is the safety of crew and passengers. Therefore, resumed flights are carried out in accordance with the #FlySafeWithLOT procedure, developed on the basis of the law, regulations of the Civil Aviation Authority and recommendations of sanitary and industry institutions. According to this procedure, we offer for sale about 50% of the seats available on the aircraft, maintaining a chessboard-like spatial distance. Ground handling staff and cabin crew serving passengers during the flight are equipped with a number of protective measures, such as masks and gloves. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate-Air) filters are installed in all LOT planes, which remove 99.9% of bacteria and viruses floating in the air. Additionally, the board an aircraft, overhead and baggage compartments are regularly disinfected with biocides.
Ticket prices are very attractive – starting from 99 PLN for a one-way flight without luggage. Due to the safety of passengers and flight crew, we have also introduced the possibility to change the reservation without any additional charges in case of a passenger feeling unwell. To change your ticket free of charge you just have to report your absence via LOT Contact Centre.
#FlySafeWithLOT procedure includes safety rules on board the aircraft as well as the entire path that the passenger follows from the moment of arrival at the airport. In addition to the space distance on board, the new regulations also include:
- The possibility to enter the terminal only for passengers holding a ticket on a particular day and the mandatory measurement of temperature with thermal cameras;
