The so-called TLK train (no EIP/EIC running at night as it seems) 
Blimey, I've just checked and it only takes just less than 4 hours, not bad at all (I remember it used to take much longer than that as the train stopped literally everywhere). Will you head straight to WAW and to the lounge once you get off the train at Zachodnia in the morning? 
P.S.: if we stay around Garnizon, I'll make sure to take you to the nearest train station, which is Wrzeszcz and it's just around the corner (your train will definitely stop there as well).

Oh, I though you referenced the AF/KLM lounge as the funeral home. It's definitely not worth spending the afternoon (I have not been to the Swissport and SAS lounges to compare).

I wasn't clear. It's the SwissPort lounge that reminds me of a funeral home. I've never had the opportunity to visit the Swiss lounge since it closes before the late evening round of departures AF/KLM I didn't even realize was an option until yesterday.

What happened to SP-LVC? I’ve just seen it parked up here at Heathrow and it seems that the first morning flight to Warsaw has also been cancelled. I’m hoping there will be no significant knock-on effect as I’m due to fly back on the 18:10 service tonight.

Not sure how Marriott nights work out for your qualification, but the Courtyard in Gdynia shows 371 PLN for the night. Would be even better if we met up @Browar Port, but it's still a nice place to recover after ;-).
Try the Polaris lounge if you can get through security. There's a shuttle to the international terminal untill 8PM

It would be hard to make 50 nights in the combined scheme for this year (another route to Plat) as my stays have been roughly split between Hilton and SPG, with a few nights in Marriott too.
In any case it’s part of my religion to visit Krakow at least once a year so having an excuse to visit is no hardship!

Talking of the CY @ Gdynia, the new combined MR/SPG award chart has just been published.
As I expected, the SPG properties have got more expensive but the Gdynia CY has got 2,500 points cheaper (20,000 to 17,500), the same as for the CY @ WAW.
The new rates are here: https://points-redemption.marriott.com/category-change
There's a great dynamic search tool to make it easy to search on country, etc.

Is there any way on the LOT App/website that I can have them remember and use my LH M&M number every time I check in without having to manually re enter it.
I add it when I make the booking. Its there, the booking automatically appears on my LH app. When I come to check in for the outbound the LO app tells me there is no frequent flyer number, so I add it manually. Then when I check in for the return again I am told no frequent flyer number and manually add it again.

I've never had any issues with the LOT app/website remembering my FF number(s) and indeed including M&M, only minor issue being with my SAS number when travelling LOT, I would need to add "EBD (and needless to say the actual number)" during booking otherwise status wouldn't show during check-in and later on the boarding pass.

Trying to add passport data to my booking (made using American Express Travel) on LO website, and it keeps rejecting passport details with a strange error: "Date valid/Document expired". The expiration date I'm entering is Dec 20, 2027 - long before expiration:
Thoughts/Suggestions?
Thanks!

GDN Mini-Do
For those attending the Gdańsk do, I will attempt to get in touch with Stary Maneż (https://starymanez.pl/browar-vrest) in order to book a table for Saturday (@yurtripper - I have just checked their website and they will be showing the match); the pub is located not far from the Wrzeszcz train station (roughty 10 minutes walk from Galeria Bałtycka) and within the Garnizon development but surely the locals will know the area better than I do. PM to follow during the forthcoming week.
P.S.: I've been there before and I'm sure you will all like it, beer garden also available (weather permitting).

this. I can’t get past the first screen. I just want to enter my passport information but it seems impossible. I also can’t check the seat map. I just get a screen that says I already have seats assigned. Yes, I do. I want to check if something better has opened. Nada. Hopeless.

Question is why bother to enter the passport/APIS data now? Checkin will do it in one swipe anyway? Last October on my way to YYZ I entered it all online, LH entered it during checkin in MUC and still had to get it update in WAW
