Firstly LOT is claiming MAJOR profits for the last year. The flights I am referring to are JFK - WAW flights, which operate daily.
When flights are cancelled LOT does not advise passengers in advance, so they travel to JFK, only to be advised there that the flight is cancelled, despite knowing about this some 4 hours earlier. They DO NOT offer hotels or vouchers, just send PAX home. This has occurred in a number of cases. So, they really don't accrue costs to the extent that you would think.
