Big news for travellers in Europe: LOT Polish Airlines has confirmed a new, year-round nonstop service between Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) and Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK). Ticket sales are already open, and the inaugural flight is scheduled for 26 October 2026.

For many European travellers, Thailand typically means a connection via major hubs. A nonstop Warsaw–Bangkok route adds a new, convenient option—especially if you can easily reach Warsaw from your city and prefer to reduce long layovers and extra transfers.

Warsaw–Bangkok direct flights: schedule (LO65 / LO66)

LOT says the route will operate five times per week as a year-round service:

• WAW → BKK (LO65): Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays — 14:25 departure from Warsaw
• BKK → WAW (LO66): Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays — 08:45 departure from Bangkok

Tip: flight times can change by season. Always double-check the exact schedule for your travel dates during booking.

How long is the flight?

During the winter period, LOT expects the flight time to be about 10h 20m from Warsaw to Bangkok, and about 11h 55m on the return leg.

What aircraft will LOT use on long-haul routes?

LOT notes that its long-haul services are operated with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a modern wide-body aircraft designed for long-distance travel.

Why this route matters for European travellers

Bangkok is one of Southeast Asia’s key gateways—and for many people, it’s the perfect starting point for a Thailand trip (or onward travel across the region). A nonstop option from Warsaw can be especially useful if:

• you want to minimise connections (one short hop to Warsaw, then nonstop to Bangkok),
• you prefer a single hub rather than multiple transfers,
• you’re planning a longer trip and want a stable, year-round schedule.

Polish Radio also described this as LOT’s first new long-haul destination in Asia in seven years, highlighting how significant the route is for the airline’s network.

How to book

LOT says tickets are available through all sales channels, including its official website, contact centre, and LOT travel offices. If you’re comparing options, it can be worth checking both:

• direct booking with the airline www.lot.com (useful for managing changes and services), and
• price comparison tools (useful to spot date differences and fare drops).

How to find cheaper fares to Thailand (practical tips)

• Be flexible by 1–3 days: long-haul prices can swing a lot depending on weekday demand.
• Start searching early: for peak holiday periods, fares often rise closer to departure.
• Compare one-way vs return: sometimes mixing airlines (outbound vs inbound) can reduce cost.
• Consider Bangkok as a gateway: you can often find great-value domestic or regional add-ons after arrival.

Bangkok arrival: what to know (BKK)

LOT’s service is planned to land at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), the city’s main airport for many international routes. From there, you can continue into the city by rail/taxi/ride-hailing, or connect onward to other parts of Thailand.

What to do in Bangkok (easy first-timer ideas)

If Bangkok is your first stop, here are classic highlights that work well even on a short visit:

• Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew: Bangkok’s most iconic sights.
• Wat Pho: famous for the Reclining Buddha (and a good place to experience Thai massage traditions).
• Wat Saket (Golden Mount): a great viewpoint over the city.
• Street food: Bangkok is one of the world’s best cities for eating well on any budget.
• Markets: from local night markets to the huge weekend Chatuchak market (if your dates match).
