July 27--LOT Polish Airlines is beefing up its routes to Poland from Chicago, which is said to have the largest Polish population outside Warsaw.
LOT announced Monday that during the upcoming winter season it will add two flights each from Chicago and New York (JFK airport) to Warsaw.
The Polish carrier has also announced several new long-haul destinations from its Warsaw hub to Bangkok, Seoul and Tokyo.
LOT uses Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, known for customer-pleasing features, on its long-haul routes, including from Chicago.
"Opening new long-haul destinations is essential for our development, which is why we will launch them as quickly as possible," said Sebastian Mikosz, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines. "Even now, connections operated by the Dreamliner are the most profitable part of our business."
