Honest Review of LOT Polish Airlines Long Haul / Short Haul Service - Flying to Miami for a Cruise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2023
- LOT Polish Airlines is actually one of the world's oldest airlines! On our way to a transatlantic cruise with the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas, we tried this airline to fly from Hamburg to Miami. Many people were warning us not to book this flight, so how was it? #travel #miami #airlinereview

Hi Morgan, they served unsalted peanuts because salt can cause your body to retain fluid, which can cause swollen ankles and dehydration, especially on long flights.
Never thought about this. Good info!
I have traveled from NY to Warsaw on LOT Airlines over 500 times transporting patients back to Poland (I'm a nurse practitioner) and I absolutely love this airline... very accommodating flight crew...in my opinion it's one of the best.
Confirm. Just flew KRK-ORD last week. Still very good. And ahead of ETA by about 30 mins.
This is comforting to hear, I'm traveling from NYC to Warsaw at the end of the week for the first time!
We flew LOT when adopting our first son ages ago (1998) and it remains one of our favorite and most memorable flights. While the plane was older and a bit run down, the crew were exceptional and so kind to a couple of new parents from America and our then 10 month old.
Thanks for a great review. Fun fact, LOT is actually one of the world’s oldest airlines still operating est. 1928
"Just a Polish airline that nobody knows about"? Let me rectify you. LOT is actually one of the OLDEST airlines in the world, it's been flying around 100 years now. I've flown with them several times and their fleet, service and amenities are all top notch compared to many other airlines.
Let’s not stay in delusions. Their fleet and amenities are very outdated.
Morgan, I've been watching your videos for over 10 years and you're my number one favorite RUclips Travel Channel! ❤ thank you so much for all you do! Your videos have always made my day!
Thank you for all the years of support! That's amazing!
Just did a short haul Embreaer 190 flight with LOT from Barcelona to Warsaw. I pre-ordered a cheese plate. The flight was very nice!
LOT is a super cool great service airline.
On a recent flight from Anchorage to Seattle the middle seat was empty in my row on an otherwise full flight. When I went to use the restroom all I could think about was you and your many visits to the restroom when you had the food poisoning. I don't know how one would go about throwing up in that small space. But I guess you figure it out when it's necessary! Glad LOT turned out to be good for you guys..
Well, I guess you make it work when you have to, right? lol
Hello Captain Morgan,
I am so glad you had a good experience with LOT Airlines.
It always a bonus to have that 'middle seat' to yourselves 🤗
That flight looked great. Modern amenities and clean bathrooms! The seats looked comfortable, especially the middle seat!
I think you will see Chris Wong on your cruise. LOT looks very comfy. Happy cruising and safe travels.
Happy to hear you had good flights. Nice to have a free ‘middle seat’ having that extra room is always nice. 😊
I love these travel day videos. It really helps take the anxiety to a much lower level for me when I know what to expect. You were so lucky to have an empty "middle seat"! We never get that. I hope your next video will give details on your choice and price of transportation from Miami airport to your accommodations. I love that you give honest reviews. Few vloggers do these days.
Thanks for that feedback, Pattie. I actually get a lot of comments from people saying I "complain" too much, but I feel like if I don't point out the negative aspects of things, that's not really a help to anyone. I'm glad you "get" it!
My husband was on a cross country flight years ago and when it came to "meal time" the flight attendant said to him "oh, your meal is in the back - let me grab it" He was served something much better than the standard meal and his seatmate (no middle seat on this flight) asked how he got that meal. He said "oh, I ordered the kosher meal". The rest of the flight, this guy kept looking at him like "you don't look Jewish" - which he's not but there is no religious requirement to ordering a kosher meal. 🙂
How does one look Jewish?
yeah for sure that happened
Glad that you had a good experience on LOT and if I have a chance to fly them I will not hesitate. I recently flew in the middle seat for the first time and it was not nearly as bad as I expected either.
You and Marcus were SO lucky to have a whole row to yourselves, including that all important middle seat! :)
Thanks Morgan... I made it to the 'middle seat' and thoroughly enjoyed your quirky review of LOT Polish Airlines. You brought a smile to my face on a stressful working day!
Great video Morgan. You were lucky to have the middle seat free. Have a blessed Sunday
I flew with LOT about a month ago from Chicago in premium economy, and that was a very decent experience. The PE configuration is 2 - 3 - 2, so there is a one "middle seat" in every row!
Great video, happy to know you liked the middle seat
It’s nice you had that row to yourselves & had the middle seat for extra room 🥰
I remember the duty free incident, lol. Happy to see your bright smile today, and glad that you and Marcus had the middle seat open on your long haul. Welcome to the States!
So glad you were able to have an enjoyable experience especially in a middle seat
Hi Morgan! Thanks for the review! I’m going to Florida in a few weeks and am making my sister sit in the middle seat! Enjoy your trip!
I love to get a free middle seat. LOT looked perfectly acceptable .
I have to say Morgan, your hair looks remarkable and makes you look younger than ever.
My wife lucked out with an empty "middle seat" with WestJet on her flight from Calgary to Amsterdam. Appreciate your content, Morgan
We flew on a United 787 from Washington Dulles to Beijing a few years ago. 14 1/2 hour flight. I was in a left side window seat. We flew straight north to just east of the North Pole and then due south into Beijing. The sun was in my face for literally the entire flight. Since the window could only be tinted, I wore sunglasses the whole flight.
It might have been better had I been in a “middle seat”. Nope, don’t think so. Lol! Great video as always!
Middle seat! Glad to hear a good review for LOT! It was quite an experience almost 50 years ago! Lois😊
Love trying new or new to me, airlines. And I love it when
Noone is sitting in the middle seat 💺 and I can stretch out a bit.
So nice you didn't have to have anyone in the "middle seat" on your 10 hour flight. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love your vid! Great ----- middle seat haha
Great Video middle seat Morgan !!
Omg you made me feel better now! We’ve never used LOT and we going to the end of the month with toddler and a baby ! I was so scared what will it be , but thanks to you I feel better now! Thank you for sharing your experience !
I hope your flight is as good as ours was!
How was it?
Glad you enjoyed the middle seat
Thanks for the review! Middle seat.
And Morgan, I love your videos!!!
thanks for this video im flying from Los Angeles to Cairo relieved some stress
Will keep this airline in mind for my next trip to Europe. I am flying on Emirates for the first time in May (16 hours from LAX!) and am really hoping the middle seat is open for that long haul. Can't wait to see the video on your place in Brickell.
I'm so glad you posted this! I was wondering how your flight was to Florida via Poland. 👍
My hubby always sweetly takes the middle seat 😉, which I appreciate. I’m happy you had two good flights, that’s great.
middle seat:P wow LOT is great airline to fly with;) thanks for that vid! cheers
Great video. “Middle seat” looks comfortable as well. Lol
Cannot wait for the next episode especially from the middle seat.
Your flight sounds like it was pretty good. Hopefully my next flight in April will have the middle seat empty so We can spread out a little. Love your videos and your book. Janice
Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about taking LOT to Czechia next year (Middle Seat)
Enjoyed this video! So glad when the middle seat is empty!!! 👍🙂
Love LOT airlines. Glad you did too. “Middle seat”
Very good video. My wife and I will fly from Mia to Cai, and we are doing LOT for the first time, so thanks for the positive information.
I never book a middle seat, but I was given one last year when I changed to a different flight on standby. When I got to the seat row, the lady at window offered me her seat, and she sat in the middle next to her husband on the aisle. Window is my favorite. I did not get an ad.
This was somewhat helpful. Currently looking at flights and LOT came up. Never heard of it before. I hate middle seats for long flights! Thanks for the video
Thanks for the review! Will give LOT a try I usually take the "middle seat" to be a buffer between my daughter and either my husband or another passenger. 🎉
Middle Seat. Glad you had a great experience!
Very good review, we also have to do a one way, we are going to look into it! Thank you!
In December on our long-haul flight from Amsterdam to Detroit (part of very long journey getting from Bergen, Norway back home to Fort Lauderdale), Delta also used wooden utensils. We did not like them and my fork snapped while trying to cut my tough chicken. So glad though that at least my DH and I had an empty Middle Seat between us.
I’m pleasantly surprised by your review! I’ll be adding them to my A-ok list even if I have to sit in the middle seat.
Glad you had a middle seat open. And no commercial today.
For my very first commercial flight, the plane was a 2-5-2 configuration and I got the very middle middle seat for a flight from Toronto to Vancouver.
Just flew to LA on LOT and it was incredible. .. Best crew experience ever
Airlines can configure their planes how they want to but I hate when it's 3-3-3 cause somebody will always get the middle seat. Nice experience you had on LOT. Thanks for sharing.
I never sit in a middle seat. Glad you had the row to yourselves.
Great news on your flights. Middle seat
Middle seat! Thanks! Entertaining and very helpful video. My husband is half Polish, but he's never been to Poland. We'll be flying from Paris to Los Angeles, and LOT has a reasonably priced flight with a stopover in Warsaw. Based on your recommendation (I'm a Delta Skymiles member and was seriously considering a known airline), I think we'll book on LOT. This way, my husband will get to say he's been in Poland! I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks again!
Middle seat!😉 Enjoyed the video! I'm leaning towards using LOT! Thank you!
Once, I flew on a wide body plane. If memory serves, the configuration was 3-6-3 . There are lots of middle seats on that one.
I love when I have the middle seat open. Almost feels like 1st class!
Great video, Morgan! I’m glad you had a good flight and look forward to your cruise videos. It helps to hear your prospective on a different airline. But, I gotta say, I hate the middle seat. Later!
I flew from Sydney to New Jersey in the Middle seat! Wasn't as bad as expected.
Love watching your travels and seeing that you got the middle seat free, can't wait to see your new cruise video's. The cutlery is made from Bamboo - still not sure how environmentally friendly this is considering how destructive bamboo can be.
I was looking for you last night in the Royal Theater but didn’t see you. I even checked the middle seats! 😁
Hey Barry, are you coming to the meet up tonight, (Sunday)? 6pm in the conference center down on deck 3 forward.
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Yes I will be there!
My husband really appreciates when the middle seat is empty because he’s 6’2”. I hate the bamboo cutlery.
I didn’t get an ad this time. I did get a post video ad for a new Grease movie!
You are hilarious. Middle seat is wonderful. I get that seat most of the time. Good to know about LOT.
I laughed WAY too hard at the baby/no baby buttons. 😂😆🤣
We don’t get to Europe often so most of our flights are on Southwest. My husband insists on having window seat and flights are always full so I’m stuck in the middle seat every damn flight.
I flew Baltic Air recently and it wasn't at all what I expected. Brand new plane, really comfortable, vegan options on the menu. I was really impressed. Although strangely for a small plane it had three seats on one side and two on the other which confused my sense of balance and gravity. No middle seat though as I was on the two seat side.
OOO! 787-9! (Or as the Boeing folks call it, the "Dash 9") We got to fly on one of those from Vancouver to Tokyo a few years back...super nice planes! There were five of us and even the MIDDLE SEAT was very comfy!
Middle seat. Taking it for JFK to Prague for our river cruise that Globus chose LOT. Glad to watch your video.
Middle Seat. Very interesting info
It’s great traveling on a plane when it isn’t full. You can get comfortable and spread out a bit, I hate when I get stuck in the middle seat.
When booking a seat I always try to get either a window or aisle row seat. The middle seat is my least favorite because you’re battling over both armrests.
Angry Birds is very addictive and a good way to pass the time on a long flight ✈️.
I happy that no one was in the middle seat. Having an extra empty seat next to you can make a huge difference on a flight.
No commercial today
Perhaps because I was in the middle seat.
LOL 😆 👍
Considering so many airlines recently are earning reputations for increased fares with all kinds of additional fees, decreased amenities such as free non-alcoholic drinks & snacks, shrinking leg room (and I am only 5'2") & seat size, noticeably dirtier cabins & washrooms, and ever larger percentages of grumpy, disinterested, or disgruntled cabin crew, it is lovely to hear of someone having an acceptably pleasant, non-delayed, early arrival flight with a few old style perks still on offer.
Whether I was or not, I too would have been surprised by unsalted nuts, and would applaude the food for being identifiable as well as edible (another rarity these days).
What a very different experience this was from your last flight... the very thought of which still gives me nightmares.
Great info, enjoyably & clearly presented.... well done as always.
😂to laugh at the Serum remark ( read your book ) can see it for me now you use the had lotion too much comes out but your hands would smell nice😜.
Thats Great that you got in with both flights Earlier less stress 😊 your view from your Apartment looks Amazing 😮
Can’t wait to see your tour.
Give me a free middle seat on a flight any day 🙏 😅 have a Fantastic time on Symphony of the seas. Safe travels 🥰
Glad to hear your flight experience was good and you had an empty middle seat!
Looked very nice. Glad you got to have an empty seat in your row. Was it a middle seat?
Sounds like two good flights, with a middle seat!
Enjoyed watching this from my middle seat..
Those pierogies look legit. My grandmother was Ukrainian, so we’ve been eating them since we were little, but those look amazing!
When I fly with my sister one of ends up in a middle seat and it’s fine
Loved your book 😁
"I didn't get to finish it! 😢" I chuckled out loud there.
Sounds like a good flight to me. The middle seat is always a fave. Have a wonderful cruise. Have you put much thought into the live-on 3 year cruise?! Think it’s a good time to sell my house
I like unsalted nuts, Morgan! 😄😄 I enjoyed this review, glad to see you had an enjoyable flight with that middle seat free!
Hi Morgan! Thank you for this review. I wish all airlines provide air fresheners in the bathroom.. Have a nice Sunday!! Middle Seat 😊
Sounds like a great airline
Hi Morgan, I see that you met up with Chris Wong on board the Symphony of the Seas. Sorry if I spoiled one of your upcoming videos but did you see where the brand new first issue of the Royal Caribbean Casino Royale Newsletter spotlighted Chris Wong as the featured casino host?
That’s great!
What a nice touch to have flowers in the restroom. I always got the middle seat on my long flights - no I Iet Hubby have the aisle or window whichever he wanted . That was a good bargain in the Airport. Looking forward to more videos from this trip. I know your not originally from Germany, do the employer’s give you vacation days like in England ( where they WANT you to be happy) lol In the US it seems like you had to go through hoops to obtain anything. Just curious. Anita in NJ
I love the Dreamliner because of the windows. Though I don’t like sitting in a middle seat unless it’s in business class. I’m planning to head to Miami next week by utilizing my buddy pass with United.
And I don't like those windows. I like that moment when the dawn starts, but they control how bright those windows can be and usually keep them very dark, because it's a sleep time, so I can't enjoy this fantastic view when first sun rays appears on the horizon on the 35 000ft altitude.
I fly Lot always to poland
Awesome
Thanks for the thorough video. Well done. I have one foot on you (6'5") and I think I'm going to be OK on the 787 ... well, only because I'm not in the MIDDLE SEAT!
Glad it was helpful, big guy! ;-)
