LOT Polish Airlines in the network the desk measures
Computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics. The desk holds departure schedules for 571 airports, and for the LO code that yields 133 city pairs across 108 of them. It is a measured sample of the published timetable and not the whole of it. Frequencies move with the season, and a quote is priced on the flights running the day you ask.

The schedule the desk holds carries the LO code on 133 city pairs, reaching 108 airports in 49 countries and territories. Some of those sectors are flown by LOT Polish Airlines and some are sold under its code and flown by a partner, which is how the published timetable states it and how a booking has to be read. 76.9 per cent of those airports sit on European time zones, and the next largest block is on Asian time zones.
01The longest sector held for the carrier is Los Angeles (LAX) to Warsaw (WAW) at about 9,658 km, and the shortest is Lublin (LUZ) to Warsaw (WAW) at about 158 km. 15 of the 133 pairs run past 5,000 km, so the carrier carries a courier across a continent on some sectors and shuttles on the rest. The airport that appears most often on those pairs is Warsaw (WAW), on 104 of them, which is 78.2 per cent of everything held under this code.
02The thickest sector under the code is Izmir (ADB) to Istanbul (IST) at about 19.3 movements a day, which across a full day is roughly one every 1.2 hours. On a sector at that cadence a missed departure costs a wait rather than a night. That sector does not touch Warsaw (WAW), the airport this code is booked through most often, so the desk treats it as a seat sold under the code rather than flown by the carrier, and confirms the operating airline before it quotes. 35 of the 133 pairs run four or more times a day and 37 run once a day or less. The second figure is the one that matters when a consignment leaves the factory late, because on those sectors the desk will quote a different carrier rather than promise an hour it cannot hold. After Warsaw (WAW) the code leans on Kraków (KRK) on 10, Gdańsk (GDN) on 7, Wrocław (WRO) on 5 pairs respectively, and those are the airports a dispatcher looks at second when the first routing is full.
The sectors that carry the LO code most often
The 16 sectors the LO code appears on most often, out of 133. Flights a day is the average daily scheduled movement on the busier of the two directions, as held on 2026-09-07. The schedule lists a code against a sector whether the carrier operates it or sells it, so read this as where the code can be booked. Distances are great circle, computed from the published coordinates of the two airports.
How a courier reaches Warsaw from the Gulf
The schedule the desk holds shows no LO service into a UAE airport, so a courier does not board this carrier in Dubai. The routing is built the other way round: a Gulf carrier takes the first leg to Warsaw (WAW), and LOT Polish Airlines carries the second.
The first leg, measured. These are the 4 links the desk holds from a UAE gateway into Warsaw (WAW), the airport this code is booked through most often.
Night restrictions on the airports the LO code uses
A hand carry is bought for the hours it saves, and an airport that will not take a movement after a certain hour can spend those hours back. 18 of the 108 airports this code is booked through carry a restriction the desk holds in writing, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, and the desk confirms the position with the airport or the carrier before it books.
- Brussels (BRU), night restrictions. Night movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local are limited by quota and noise rules.
- Seoul (ICN), night operations. Operates around the clock.
- Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), night restrictions. No scheduled take offs or landings between 23:00 and 05:00 local. A late evening departure that slips past 23:00 does not go until morning.
- Madrid (MAD), night operations. Operates around the clock. Night departures to the Americas are routine.
- Hamburg (HAM), night restrictions. No scheduled movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local. Delayed landings are allowed until midnight.
- Paris (ORY), night restrictions. Closed to scheduled traffic between 23:30 and 06:00 local.
Published lanes that carry the LO code
The site publishes a page for 346 courier lanes. LOT Polish Airlines appears in the schedule on 2 of them, and the one it flies most is Warsaw to Stuttgart at about 1.1 movements a day. That overlap is the honest test of whether a carrier is useful to this desk rather than merely famous.
- Warsaw to Stuttgart, about 1.1 scheduled flights a day on the busier direction, 916 km.
- Warsaw to Seoul, about 1 scheduled flights a day on the busier direction, 7,726 km.
The countries the LO code opens
Of the 49 countries and territories reached, 29 are reached at a single airport, which for a courier means one airport of entry and a road leg for everything else in that country. The deepest is Poland with 12 airports on this code. The country desk for Poland sets out the customs practice, the working hours and the road legs behind these airports.
Poland (12 airports), Greece (8 airports), United States (7 airports), Germany (6 airports), Türkiye (5 airports), France (4 airports), Spain (4 airports), Italy (4 airports), Croatia (3 airports), Portugal (3 airports).
