LOT to launch regular Warsaw- Košice flights

The Polish airline LOT will launch a regular flight connection between Warsaw and Košice six days a week as of March 29, LOT communications director Adrian Kubicki told journalists in Košice on Tuesday. According to the timetable, outbound flights from Košice are scheduled regularly for 5:35 a.m., with inbound flights from Warsaw at 10:35 p.m. The regular connection to Warsaw will provide vast travel opportunities for passengers coming from Košice, with Chopin Airport in Warsaw offering further connections to other destinations in Poland and elsewhere in Europe, North America and Asia. "The morning LOT flights will allow our Slovak customers to transfer in Warsaw to all morning flights within Europe, for example to Stockholm, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels, Dusseldorf and many other cities. We believe that LOT has a high potential to become the first choice for passengers beginning their journeys in Košice", said Kubicki. LOT uses Bombardier turbo propeller aircraft on the Warsaw-Košice route, with three travel classes available. The flight should take around one hour, with layovers for flights to some destinations being as short as 30 minutes. Košice is one of the first new destinations opened by LOT after completing its restructuring process. The other two standard carriers serving Košice are Czech Airlines and Austrian Airlines, apart from low-cost carrier Wizz Air (Hungary).
