LOT Polish Airlines, for more than 20 years a member of Star Alliance, will add Thessaloniki (SKG) to its global route network and start flying there daily as of 17th June 2025 from its global hub in Warsaw.
To provide passengers with a maximum of flexibility, there will be two different departure times from Warsaw: Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9:40h; Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 14:10h. Flight time will be approximately two hours and twenty minutes.
LOT Polish Airlines will operate the new service with modern aircraft providing passengers the choice between LOT Business Class and LOT Economy Class.
