I don't have much faith in the LOT CEO. Look at the XW. It makes them even more uncompetitive on connecting traffic. Mr Milky's influence is negligible. Maybe Comrade Kaczynski has seem him in Crocs and is scarred for life.

Previously XW was 60 PLN ex-WAW its just gone up to 81 PLN ex-WAW
That's a 35% increase, completely crazy!
A KRK-WAW-xxx RT has a Polish airport tax component of 212.97 PLN
To do a promotional, she would typically take off the YQ and adjust the fare. But her domestic YQ is 42 PLN (21 per segment) exactly the same like the XW, with a fare basis of say 5-10 PLN. Even less beans into her coffers and even more money will need to come from the PL taxpayer who basically never fly Basia
For the time being, things look the same in the regions, KRK still 50zl
When comparing like-for-like fares, unless she reduces the YQ or her fare component, other airlines will seem more competitively priced having a lower XW burden

These increases are a part of a bigger long term plan , all flights from poland will be affected by this change from January 2022

Bringing this back to LOT, I just had notification of cancellations for January. At a cursory glance, it seems all services to/from KTW on Sunday are cancelled in Jan and Feb. The site seems to have crashed, I can't search or open bookings, therefore I am guessing a lot more has been binned than a few domestics.

New S/H seats

Apparently there was an event for LO employees and Tour Operators.
Not sure, if this should be the highest priority, though.

WAW/Regions to DXB 1399 PLN today (apart from WAW which is wide open & LUZ) I couldn't find a single day from the regions where the fare available. KL/AF is significantly cheaper.
Fare is loaded, but no seats on the return. Not the first time there are these scam prices.

I suppose you’re always learning something, only today did I realise the benefit of guest plus family is not extended to SEN on LO it’s only for HON. SEN can take only one guest just like Star Gold. It’s weird. I thought it was a core benefit for SEN.
With Basia there is a super fine line between SEN and Gold. Also recall how I highlighted that pax on the same PNR are not extended the benefits of ASR as is the norm with M&M airlines.

IIRC I was also able to use ASR for the entire family.

Yes, it’s changed. ASR too.
On another topic, there’s some kind of incident in WAW, fire service on the runway, nothing is leaving or arriving.
Diversions have started, LO282 to KTW. LO30 to GDN. LO632 KTW.

Given her eclectic mix of routes, its worthwhile keeping an eye on LO195 WAW-NQZ. Will be flown on SP-LWF/G. Most flights to NQZ are canx given the situation in KZ.
