Bangkok. LOT Polish Airlines has launched a new direct connection with Asia

From 2 November, flights to Bangkok will be taking to the skies six times a week, with the exception of Fridays. During this period, the departure time from Warsaw will also change from 3:45 pm to 2:45 pm. Return flights to Warsaw will depart daily at 9:05 am, except for Saturdays. For the summer season — lasting between 28 March and 28 October 2027 — three flights to the Thai capital are scheduled each week.

The new route offers not only a more convenient way to reach Thailand but also serves as a vital link connecting Central and Eastern Europe with one of the world’s most dynamic regions. Flights to Bangkok open up new opportunities for both business and leisure travel, facilitating economic ties and exchanges between Poland and Thailand. The direct flight from Warsaw to Bangkok takes approximately 10 hours and 20 minutes, while the return flight takes about 11 hours and 15 minutes. LOT aircraft arrive at Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi (BKK) — the Thai capital’s main international airport — located roughly 30 kilometers east of the city center.

The return of flights to Bangkok marks a new chapter in the history of this route, which dates back to 1977. It was when LOT Polish Airlines launched its first scheduled service to the Far East, connecting Warsaw with Bangkok. Initially, flights included stopovers, with the Warsaw–Dubai–Mumbai–Bangkok route operated using Ilyushin Il-62 aircraft. With the expansion of the fleet and the introduction of Boeing 767 aircraft, the launch of direct flights to Thailand became possible. The regular service from Warsaw was suspended in March 2000; its resumption after more than two decades represents a significant step in the continued development of LOT Polish Airlines’ long-haul network.
