In recent years, Asia has moved decisively to the forefront of both leisure and business travel, captivating travellers with its cultural depth, economic dynamism, and sensory richness. Responding to this momentum, LOT Polish Airlines has announced a new long-haul connection between Warsaw and Bangkok, reinforcing its ambition to connect Central Europe with the world’s most influential global cities.
Launching on 26 October 2026, the year-round service marks a significant expansion of LOT’s intercontinental network and positions Bangkok as the airline’s next major Asian destination, following the recent announcement of flights to San Francisco.

Flight times have been designed with long-haul comfort in mind:

This schedule allows for smooth onward connections across LOT’s European network, positioning Warsaw as an increasingly relevant hub for Asia-bound travel.
A strategic step in LOT’s long-haul expansion
Long-haul connectivity remains a cornerstone of LOT Polish Airlines’ growth strategy. The launch of the Warsaw–Bangkok route reflects sustained demand from both leisure travellers and the business community.
Thailand has long been one of the most sought-after destinations among Polish travellers, offering a rare balance of exotic appeal, established infrastructure, and economic opportunity. Bangkok, in particular, stands out as a regional gateway to Southeast Asia, linking travellers to neighbouring markets while remaining a destination in its own right.
“Launching the Warsaw–Bangkok route is another important step in expanding our global network,” said Robert Ludera, Director of the LOT Polish Airlines Network Office. “We are responding directly to market needs, offering a convenient, comfortable and competitive travel option.”
Bangkok – where heritage and modern Asia converge
For travellers arriving on LOT’s new service, Bangkok unfolds as a city of contrasts – where ancient spirituality and contemporary energy coexist seamlessly.
Temples that anchor the city’s soul
Bangkok’s spiritual landmarks offer moments of stillness amid the urban rhythm.
Wat Saket (Golden Mount) rewards visitors with panoramic city views after a climb to its summit. During the Loy Krathong festival, the site becomes a focal point of ritual and reflection.
Wat Pho, home to the iconic 46-metre reclining Buddha, is not only one of Bangkok’s oldest temples but also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, still practised within its walls.
These sites are not monuments to be observed from a distance – they are living spaces where daily devotion and cultural continuity unfold.
The Grand Palace and the pulse of the city
No introduction to Bangkok is complete without the Grand Royal Palace, a sprawling complex of temples, courtyards and ceremonial halls that has shaped Thailand’s national identity.
At its heart lies Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, regarded as the country’s most sacred religious site. The intricacy of golden spires, mosaic-clad walls and guardian statues reflects centuries of craftsmanship and belief.
Yet Bangkok is equally defined by its kinetic energy. Streets such as Khao San Road come alive after dark, where the aromas of street food mingle with music, conversation and movement. It is here that travellers encounter the city’s informal, spontaneous side – vibrant, chaotic and unforgettable.
Designed for families and long-haul comfort
While long-haul travel can feel demanding, LOT Polish Airlines places strong emphasis on comfort, particularly for families.
Young passengers benefit from thoughtfully designed onboard amenities:
Infants receive a reusable kit including soft bibs, socks and a pacifier clip
Children aged 2–12 are offered aviation-themed activity bags with crayons, colouring books and the LOTka mascot
These details reflect a broader commitment to making intercontinental travel more accessible and enjoyable for passengers of all ages.
Strengthening ties between Poland and Thailand
The new route has been welcomed not only by the aviation sector, but also by tourism and diplomatic partners.
Cholada Siddhivarn, Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Office in Prague, emphasised the wider significance of the connection, noting its potential to stimulate tourism, trade, investment and educational exchange between the two countries.
For Thailand, the arrival of a direct connection from Warsaw represents deeper engagement with Central Europe. For Poland, it reinforces Bangkok’s role as a bridge to Asia’s fastest-growing region.
A new long-haul option for Asia-bound travellers
With the launch of LOT Polish Airlines Warsaw–Bangkok flights, travellers gain a direct link between Central Europe and one of Asia’s most compelling capitals.
The route reflects evolving travel patterns – longer journeys, richer destinations, and a growing appetite for cultural immersion paired with modern comfort. For LOT, it is another confident step toward building a globally connected network. For passengers, it is an invitation to experience Asia through a new, seamless gateway.
Tickets for the Warsaw–Bangkok connection are available via lot.com, the LOT Contact Center, LOT Travel offices, and authorised sales channels.
