The bilateral allows for 4 flights a week with a cap of 1600 seats/week. Page 57 of this document: Bilaterals
Assuming the B788 LO uses has 252 seats that would accomodate 6.3 flights a week, the B789 with 294 seats is 5.4 flights.
The setup can be used to feed the ORD/NYC departures... altough WAW is closer to India the cost of transiting Russia is a problem and to avoiding RU airspace they have to fly a really southerly detour to avoid the UA airspace too.

If you’ve had a complete lack of infomation from LOT about your flight. Please complain to them. They’ve done this to me now and without something from LOT about the flight, nothing can be done.

Just wanted to check with you guys about buying extra luggage. On a WAW-SIN flight in Y I take it it's 500 PLN minus 20% for doing it online (for a 23 kg bag)? Is there a limit to the number of additional bags (or price change from 2nd bag onwards)?

Is the logic for selecting first row's on the domestic flights still the same?
Ie, Gold/SEN, Premium Onward travel...ie a high PCV.
I noticed that the first row has not unblocked but its not occupied. And given its a while since I've had the pleasures of Basia's cabins, I cannot attest if that logic is the same as it was previously.
It's always been unavailable for ASR, but would open at OLCI with the right PCV.
This is for an E90 flight.

I could probably write a book with all the BS I (and indeed the other passengers) got over the years while waiting for the chronically delayed late evening domestic flights. The thing I used to find most annoying was the boarding time changing every 15/20 minutes, hinting at a further delay, with no announcements nor apologies (the usual group of gate agents happily chatting in the meantime). Nowadays, I tend to wait in the lounge until I see Boarding on the screen, even though a few weeks ago, while heading to gate 45 (i.e. down the very bottom of the Schengen side) for the last Szczecin flight, I heard my name (last call) a couple of times and got even 'told off' once at the gate...

PS Please go ahead and write that book of yours!

G and I are of the opinion that it changed last week.
But we should gather data... when was the last time you successfully selected the bulkhead?
The opinion is it might be blocked to non-M&M Golds.

Mazurek is terrible.. so busy... as soon as I saw the queues were so short at least the border I regretted my decision to come here. But I at least wanted to try it.
If they had some kind of eBorder there would be no compelling reason to come here at all. No
champagne as it’s FTL facility.
