LOT Polish Airlines Takes Flight to Bangkok: A Game-Changing Direct Route from Warsaw Set to Boost Tourism in 2026

Published on December 23, 2025

In a monumental shift for air travel between Europe and Southeast Asia, LOT Polish Airlines has confirmed the launch of its first-ever direct flights from Warsaw to Bangkok. Starting on October 26, 2026, this new service promises to make travel between Poland and Thailand faster, easier, and more convenient. With Poland’s growing love for Thailand’s beaches, culture, and natural beauty, this direct connection comes at a perfect time to further strengthen the bond between the two countries.

The new direct route is set to transform how Polish travellers experience Thailand, providing a hassle-free way to explore the stunning landscapes, rich history, and tropical paradises of Thailand without the need for layovers in the Middle East.

Direct Flights, More Comfort, and Less Hassle

One of the most exciting aspects of this new service is the convenience it offers. Until now, Polish travellers looking to visit Thailand typically had to fly with one or more stopovers in Middle Eastern hubs like Dubai or Doha. But with LOT Polish Airlines’ new direct flights, passengers will enjoy a non-stop route from Warsaw to Bangkok—cutting down on travel time and eliminating the need for long layovers.

The service will operate five times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, making it easy for travellers to choose flights that fit their schedules. Flight LO65 departs Warsaw in the afternoon, and Flight LO66 will depart Bangkok in the morning. This flexible schedule gives tourists ample opportunity to plan their trips, whether it’s for a relaxing beach holiday or an exciting exploration of Thailand’s cultural wonders.

A Boon for Tourism: Connecting Poland and Thailand Like Never Before

For Thailand, the new Warsaw-Bangkok connection is a strategic boost to its tourism sector. Over the past few years, Poland has seen an increasing number of travellers heading to Thailand, particularly for beach vacations in destinations such as Phuket, Krabi, and Ko Samui. There’s also a growing interest in exploring Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Hua Hin, where tourists can dive deeper into Thailand’s rich culture and scenic beauty.

Enhancing Travel Experiences: Why This Matters for Polish Tourists

For Polish holidaymakers, this new flight is a game-changer. Not only will it shorten the travel time to Thailand, but it will also make the entire journey far more comfortable and efficient. Without the need to change planes, the flight will allow for a seamless travel experience, ensuring that tourists can arrive in Thailand refreshed and ready to explore.

Thailand’s appeal as a top travel destination is undeniable, with its diverse offerings from luxurious beach resorts to rich cultural landmarks. By removing the layover bottlenecks, LOT Polish Airlines ensures that more Polish tourists can experience Thailand’s unique mix of relaxation and adventure.

Whether they’re seeking sun-kissed beaches in Ko Samui, ancient temples in Ayutthaya, or the bustling city life of Bangkok, Polish travellers now have a faster and more reliable route to their dream vacation.

Thailand’s Growing Popularity Among Polish Tourists

Thailand has long been a favourite destination for travellers worldwide, but its popularity among Polish visitors has been steadily climbing. The allure of the country’s beach resorts, combined with affordable travel and warm hospitality, has made it an easy choice for long-haul holidays. Thai tourism officials report that the average Polish tourist spends 68,000 Baht during their 14-day stay in Thailand—indicating that they are both frequent and high-spending visitors.

The direct flight route is expected to cater not just to leisure tourists, but also to business and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travellers, further solidifying Thailand’s status as an international hub for both pleasure and business.

A Win for the Thai Economy: Strengthening Bilateral Relations

This new connection goes beyond tourism—it’s a major step forward in economic diplomacy between Poland and Thailand. Direct flights will facilitate not just the movement of tourists, but also business partnerships, cultural exchanges, and long-term economic collaborations. The convenience of non-stop travel will open doors to more collaborative ventures and strengthen ties between the two countries in various sectors.

Thailand’s growth as a leading long-haul destination for European travellers is also reinforced by the increased accessibility from Central and Eastern Europe. This partnership between LOT Polish Airlines and TAT is a pivotal moment in making Thailand more accessible to European markets, and it aligns with TAT’s broader goal to position Thailand as a premier tourism destination.

Looking Forward: The Future of Poland-Thailand Air Travel

As air travel continues to recover globally, the Warsaw-Bangkok direct flights represent a new era of convenience and connectivity for travellers. LOT Polish Airlines’ new service is not just a step forward in air travel, but a strategic move to enhance Poland’s engagement with Thailand on various levels—be it tourism, culture, or business.

By making travel between these two countries smoother and more accessible, this direct flight opens the door for a flourishing exchange of visitors, fostering stronger bonds between Poland and Thailand for years to come.
