Our availability calendar shows you all possible flight dates at the lowest fare for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to our flight search, where you’ll find the cheapest price. Booking on LOT’s website would cost roughly €100 more.

LOT will operate a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the long-haul routes to and from the USA. Although it is an aircraft with a 2-2-2 configuration in business class that doesn’t offer maximum privacy, you should still enjoy a very pleasant flight. The seats are lie-flat, and all passengers have either aisle access or a window seat. If you’re travelling alone and want to avoid climbing over fellow passengers (or having them climb over you), choose a seat in the middle row.

Information & Tips for USA

The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.

The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
