Flight compensation LOT Polish Airlines:
New York — Warsaw

Get your LOT Polish Airlines flight compensation for the route New York - Warsaw

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between New York and Warsaw with LOT Polish Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 6 848 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight LOT Polish Airlines New York - Warsaw is eligible?

For an LOT Polish Airlines flight from New York to Warsaw, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If LOT Polish Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at John F Kennedy International Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

The impact of a strike on your LOT Polish Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by LOT Polish Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your New York - Warsaw flight.
