Frequently asked questions
How much compensation can I claim from LOT Polish Airlines?
Under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, you can claim €250 for flights under 1,500 km, €400 for flights between 1,500–3,500 km, and €600 for flights over 3,500 km. These amounts apply per passenger regardless of what you paid for your ticket.
How do I claim compensation from LOT Polish Airlines?
You can claim directly through LOT Polish Airlines's customer service, but airlines often delay or reject valid claims. Using a claims service like FlightOwed means your claim is assessed by experts, letters are drafted professionally, and — if needed — legal action is taken. We charge 25% only if we win.
How long do I have to claim from LOT Polish Airlines?
EU law doesn't set a single deadline — it depends on your country's statute of limitations. In most EU countries it's 2–3 years; in some (like the UK pre-Brexit) it's 6 years. If your flight was in the last 3 years, you almost certainly still have time to claim.
Does EC 261/2004 apply to LOT Polish Airlines flights?
Yes, if your flight departed from any EU airport, OR if LOT Polish Airlines is an EU-registered carrier and your flight arrived at an EU airport. The regulation covers all qualifying routes regardless of where you bought your ticket.
What if LOT Polish Airlines claims extraordinary circumstances?
Airlines frequently invoke "extraordinary circumstances" to avoid paying compensation — but many claims are unjustified. Technical faults, crew scheduling issues, and overbooking are NOT extraordinary circumstances. We challenge invalid claims on your behalf.
