Search & Book
The duration for which the flights will be available at these prices is unknown, as they tend to fluctuate, and dates are limited. You can find suitable dates using Google Flights.

If you select premium economy or business on Google Flights, it won’t work, so you have to search in economy. After you choose your dates, you will be able to book on R.pl and select premium economy or business if you wish.
The seat reservation unfortunately comes with an additional cost in all classes (approx. 50€).

I bought a business class ticket to Bangkok this morning for approximately 440 euros. I spoke with the office (I’m Polish) about what to expect at the airport and on the plane – the lady said that almost everything is like during a regular trip except for the mileage accrual. Check-in in the business zone, access to the lounge (she didn’t ask about status), service on board, etc. Luggage: 9kg carry-on + 25kg checked. However, I read on the website that there will be two meal services and a limited selection of alcohol… I’ll see all this next Monday , and for that price, I guess I’ll survive without champagne 🥂😉😂
Have a good tip and let us know how it was, I m very curious !
Let us know how the lounge access works. According to the LOT website, a Star Gold card would be required for that:
