Good news for frequent flyers and business travellers: LOT Polish Airlines will completely renovate and significantly expand the Polonez Business Lounge in the Schengen area at Warsaw Chopin Airport, the airline's global hub. Work will begin this month and will be completed by December 2024 while the lounge remains operational. The lounge will then feature a modern design that combines functionality and comfort, while reflecting the airline's new brand identity and Polish hospitality. In addition, the lounge will grow by more than 1,600 square feet to a total of over 9,250 square feet.
LOT Polish Airlines, a member of Star Alliance, bundles the vast majority of all domestic and international flights at Warsaw Chopin Airport. For example, guests from India can transfer seamlessly to onward LOT flights, for example within Poland and Europe, but also to North America.
The Polonez Business Lounge is well-located near the Schengen gates on departure level. It is open daily from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm. LOT Business Class passengers, Miles & More members with HON Circle, Senator or Frequent Traveller status and guests with Star Alliance Gold status are entitled to access. Guests can enjoy numerous amenities such as free Wi-Fi, hot and cold meals and snacks, two bars, showers and the Salon Yonelle Spa with free treatments.
"It is our ambitious efforts not only to offer our guests perfect service in the air, but also to continue this seamlessly on the ground. We are therefore very pleased that we are making our business lounge in the Schengen area of Warsaw Chopin Airport even more beautiful, comfortable and spacious," says Amit Ray, Director India, DACH Markets and Italy and Head of Global Corporate and Strategic Sales at LOT Polish Airlines. "For LOT Polish Airlines, the remodelling of the Polonez Business Lounge is another important step towards greater guest comfort. Just last year, we announced that we would be opening our own lounge at Chicago O'Hare Airport and completely redesigning the interior of our Boeing Dreamliner fleet."
In addition to the Polonez Business Lounge, LOT Polish Airlines also operates the LOT Business Lounge Mazurek in the non Schengen area of Chopin Airport, relevant for passangers originating from India and travelling to destinations such as London or North America. This lounge offers a similarly extensive range of services and is open daily from 6:15 am to 11:00 pm.
