LOT Polish Airlines baggage allowance

With most airlines, the fare name tells you the whole story. LOT Polish Airlines adds a second variable: route. The same Economy Standard fare can include one checked bag on a Europe-to-North-America itinerary but two on the same route booked out of Egypt or Lebanon -- the fare class doesn't change, but the allowance does.

Checked baggage by class and route

On short-haul flights within Europe and the Middle East, Business gets 2 bags at 32 kg, Economy Standard/Flex gets 1 bag at 23 kg, and Economy Saver gets none. On long-haul routes it gets more route-dependent: Business rises to 3 bags at 32 kg, Premium Economy typically gets 2 bags at 23 kg, and Economy fares range from 1 to 2 bags at 23 kg depending on the specific origin and destination pair. Economy Saver stays at zero bags across every route LOT flies.

Why this matters when booking

Because the allowance is tied to the route pairing and not a single global rule per fare, the safest approach is checking the baggage allowance shown at booking for your exact itinerary rather than assuming a figure you remember from a previous LOT flight still applies. Check your carry-on separately against LOT and 52 other airlines with our carry-on checker.

Bottom line

Never assume your LOT baggage allowance from one trip carries over to the next -- verify it per booking, especially if Economy Saver is involved, since that tier includes no checked bag on any route.
