LOT’s website shows “ECONOMY” in the first step after you’ve selected the flights. This, however, is simply a bug on the website. On long-haul flights, you’ll be seated in premium economy. This becomes clear, once you select your seats.
First, you will fly with LOT Polish Airlines on a Boeing 737 to Warsaw in economy, in a 3-3 configuration. For your flight to India, you will fly with LOT Polish Airlines on a Boeing 787 in premium economy, in a 2-3-2 configuration.

This fare with the stopover in Warsaw can be a bit tricky to find using flight search engines, so if you’re not having luck with the search, we have prepared this tutorial to help you book your trip to Mumbai at the best price.
First, use Google Flights to find the best dates and locate the days when you can make the stopovers depending on the duration of your trip:
Once you have the dates, go to LOT.com and enter the dates in the multi-city search. You have to select premium economy. You need to select 4 segments for the search: London-Warsaw, Warsaw-Mumbai the next day, and then for the return, Mumbai-Warsaw and Warsaw-London, which can be the same day or the day after. You have to try different options to get the best price.
You will be shown various flight options. However, you need to stay 24 hours in Warsaw to get this price, so you have to take a flight that arrives before 15:20, such as the 06:30 AM or 10:15 AM flight.
To double-check that you have premium economy, in the next step of the booking, check the seat selection for the Warsaw-Mumbai flight.
