I'm curious as to people's experiences with Poland's LOT airline. The last thread I saw was from a number of years ago - has anyone flown them in the last year or so? How are the seats in Economy and Business class? Their prices seem pretty amazing for a full service airline.

Flew economy from Chicago to Warsaw in September 2013. No complaints. 787 Dreamliners. I did not think the prices were that great. We flew them because they have the only direct flights from North America to Poland.

I flew LOT from New York to Krakow (via Warsaw). The transatlantic segment is on a 787; after everything I had read about batteries, fires, etc., I was worried, but my flight had no problems. There is both a USB charging port and an electric outlet at each seat in coach. And Premium Economy is nicer and more spacious than economy for only about $200 more; the seating in PE is 2-2-2 instead of the 2-3-2 in economy, so you not only get more legroom, but a whole larger space. Business Class is another higher level than PE.
Changing planes in Warsaw is easy (the airport isn't too big), but I was not prepared for one quirk. If you are connecting to another flight, there's a security check RIGHT AFTER immigration; if I had known this, I would have prepared on the plane. The flight to Krakow was on a smaller propeller plane, but it's short and was fine.
I'd certainly fly LOT again - particularly if I was looking for a Premium Economy experience.
