LOT Airlines must be one of the worst airlines around
BIG MISTAKE.
I traveled on Lufthansa and LOT in May, and my LOT flight was much more pleasant than my Lufthansa flight. I will still fly with both of them in the future, though. Casey |

No experience with LOT but speaking of post-communism I had pretty good experience with Tarom (Romanian). I mean the airline itself. Bucharest airport was a big pit when I was there.

I don't know why people insist on standing in long check-in lines. If I have an assigned seat and don't have any special points to haggle over, I just wait comfortably in a couch until the line is short. I still leave by the same flight in the same seat.

I love customer service in the electronic shops around Times Square...

After some deliberations, we decided to give this post-Communist company a benefit of doubt. ^^^^^^^^^^^ There's your reason right there. You can take a communist out of communism, but you can never take the communism out of a communist. Also keep in mind that the concept of "customer service" is pretty much unheard of outside the US. It has recently been introduced in some parts of Western Europe such as UK, France, and Germany, but they are still having noticeable trouble with it. Europeans have been killing each other for thousands of years, they're not going to start having a "how may I be of service to you" attitude overnight. BIG MISTAKE. - 75 min long line to just check in in O'Hare. - 1 hour long security check line in Warsaw. Rude and very invasive search, too. - Even though tickets were purchased 3 months in advance, seating assigned made sure members of our family seat as far from each other as possible (my mistake for not checking it before we came to the airport) - Weather-unrelated delays on both trans-Atlantic flights (1 and 2.5 hours; "some kind of engine trouble" (!)). - The luggage was not transferred at all on trip forward and one suitcase was transferred to a wrong flight on trip back. - Without exception, stewardesses keep talking to every passenger in Polish - even after learning that the passenger does not speak Polish. - Food is given in liliputian amounts and has no taste. - The other flight services are unexistent.

Poland has problem not only with PLL LOT, and everything is thanks to bandit Hitler, murderer Stalin and traitor Roosevelt. Just to remember... wk You've been watching a final episode of: WARLORDS: Roosevelt v Stalin: Final episode of the major four-part history series that reveals an epic untold story of the Second World War: the inside story of the private psychological war waged by the four great 20th-century warlords: Churchill, Hitler, Roosevelt and Stalin; told through their own contemporaneous words and the words of those who observed them at the time. While their nations fought a war of weapons, the warlords fought a war of the mind in which they lied, schemed, charmed, flattered and cheated to win. These psychological duels decided the strategy for the greatest battles in history. They were also the epicentre of a seismic shift in world power, from the age of European empires to the age of two ideologically opposed superpowers, with devastating consequences for hundreds of millions of people. Roosevelt v Stalin reveals the American President's enormous gamble in deciding to give Stalin everything he wanted in the hope that the Soviet leader would collaborate with him to create a world of peaceful and free nations; a gamble that went disastrously wrong. |
