LOT suspends flights to the Middle East — chaos at the airport

LOT suspends flights to the Middle East — chaos at the airport

LOT suspends flights to the Middle East — affected routes include Dubai, Doha, and Israel. Passengers of LOT and other airlines should check their flight status and refund or rebooking policies as soon as possible.

The Polish carrier LOT has temporarily suspended flights to the Middle East — suspensions concern flights to:

  • Dubai,
  • Doha,
  • and connections to Israel.

The information applies to flights from Chopin Airport in Warsaw (Okęcie); the carrier appeals to passengers to check their flight status and contact customer service.

Reaction of other airlines and situation at the airport

Other operators are moving in a similar direction — regional airlines and international carriers announce further suspensions and schedule changes. Passengers should expect delays, cancellations, and check-in difficulties; airlines offer ticket rebooking options or refunds.

At Chopin Airport, an increased number of inquiries can be seen at customer service desks and departure gates.

Important: We recommend monitoring carrier announcements, posts on airport websites, and e-mail/SMS notifications — in many cases, a quick reaction will allow you to use alternative connections or get a full refund.

Passenger rights

Before purchasing foreign offers, it is worth ensuring the availability and conditions of flights as well as possible travel restrictions. You can find more information and updates on the LOT and Chopin Airport websites.
