I read that FlyBosnia (a new airline based here in Sarajevo, they should be starting operations soon with a 319) are planning to fly to Warsaw (amongst other cities e.g. Riyadh, Frankfurt & Rome), here's hope that LOT will codeshare

Hopefully but it seems as a general rule, they don’t tend to codeshare with non-*A unless they have to.

As of April 1st, there will be an extra daily Vienna flight from Warsaw (departing WAW 12PM, returning from VIE at 2PM for a total of 6 daily flights between Warsaw & Vienna) whereas the mid-morning service to Amsterdam will no longer operate from the very same date.

Oh really, that's a valuable slot in a slot surely? What's happening to that then?
Came down from WAW yesterday and there were upwards of 20+ pax transferring *TO* ORD
in KRK. First time I'd seen the transfer section staffed.
Seatmap was not full on EF, 6 seats taken in C (could even have been staff) What desperation to be selling tix WAW-KRK-ORD to fill the 789?!

Too bad. It was a good backup option in case of a misconnect to the morning flight - though admittedly, very low chance of delay on morning flight from outstation to hub

The taxpayers have now sponsored a new deal between Lubusz Province and LOT "for promoting the Lubusz Province through aviation means" (14 million złoty for a year), so WAW-IEG-WAW will now fly 12 times a week (twice daily with some exceptions on weekends):
WAW-IEG: 7am, 8pm
IEG-WAW: 8am, 9pm
WAW-IEG: 7am, 8pm
IEG-WAW: 8am, 9pm

Makes it much nicer for segment runs indeed.

Is there even a lounge at IEG airport? lot.com does not list any IMHO no lounge = no segment/mileage run 
And if you want to visit the city during the layover (was there once by car - fairly nice) the airport is in the middle of nowhere some 36 kms north-east of the city.

There is this "VIP room", but it's open on-demand only and needs to be prebooked by phone/email and costs 100 PLN per person (not covered by your status nor booking class).
Keep in mind WAW is the only route from IEG and before the above-described extension, it had one arrival and one departure daily -- it makes no sense to have a proper lounge in such an airport.
