LOT Polish Airlines flight delay compensation: when can you claim?

A delayed LOT Polish Airlines flight does not automatically create a right to fixed compensation. For a covered journey, compensation can become possible when the final arrival delay reaches the relevant threshold and no applicable extraordinary-circumstances defence removes the entitlement. Care and reimbursement rights are separate.

Check coverage, final arrival delay and cause together

LOT's official regulations surface passenger rights for flight irregularities under EU Regulation 261/2004; route, arrival delay and cause still determine the result.

The safest starting point is the actual LOT Polish Airlines-operated itinerary rather than assuming every flight falls under the same passenger-rights regime.

  • Keep the booking confirmation and operating flight number.
  • Record the actual arrival time at the final destination.
  • Save any LOT Polish Airlines message explaining the disruption.

Care and reimbursement are separate from compensation

Meals, refreshments, accommodation or a refund option can become relevant under different thresholds from fixed compensation. AeroDue checks these categories separately so one unavailable remedy does not erase another possible right.
