LOT Award Ticket

Hi,

I am looking at a LOT award ticket from YYZ-WAW on the 787 in Business class. I did a search on ExpertFlyer and it only shows Award Tickets in J which LOT lists as Premium Economy, not Business class.

If I do an award search via Aeroplan though, its listed as Business class.

Can anyone confirm whether a "business class" award is actually in business class or is it only in their "premium economy".

Thanks,
Matt

Premium economy are P,A,R. From what I recall J was always business fare on LOT.

J is Business.

It's actually a premium business booking class, above C. That`s probably where the mixup in ExpertFlyer comes from.
LOT itself doesn´t list this as a booking class they sell, but LH does for instance.

Y+ can only be booked with Polish M&M AFAIK, so anything premium you see in another program has to be business class.

LO doesn't seem to use J for their fares though (and award flights used to be in I).

LO only publishes I (business) and X (economy) on starnet:

Thanks for the info.

This is what I was referring to on ExpertFlyer. Shows lots of Business Class availability, but the only Award option is J.

Could it be that LOT (like most of *A) has blocked viewing their awards on EF and thus its only showing the M&M award?



Thanks,
Matt

I'd recommend using ANA for viewing business class availability, mj. that's what i used when i ticketed my USAir award with an LOT flight in the mix yesterday.
