This is in the Comrade's in-tray for approval. I think I can come. Unless Basia is reading this and is planning on closing all the U and O class fares!
I'll be in WRO this Saturday if any of the WRO lurkers are around...?

I would be in the Polonez Lounge on Friday 12/7 early morning. I would be happy to meet anyone. Sorry that I'm not traveling alone so I am not able to postpone my flight to the next day.

Joys of airline’s fare system (it even got the young lass working at our corporate travel agent excited, but she’s not been in the job for long, which somewhat explains why...)

Thats only to take pity on your trip to SOF. Just think you have the delights of the various SOF lounges on the return. Ask the dragons for some Solitaire tips!

Great to meet you and your guest this morning! Hope to see you both around soon.
I hope you agree that the new Lallier is better than the Nicholas Feuillatte? I thought the breakfast was good this morning, much better than last week.
And Basia treated me to an empty exit row for my flight. I was surprised I didn’t have to fight off the pax who would step over me when I fell asleep to claim the seats... it has happened before.

The information on LOT.com that they have a contract with Plaza Premium at LHR is still true. I was of the opinion that its a relic from before the LH lounge opened with the new terminal but in fact this is the lounge LOT encourage C pax to use.
So, a Basia C pax from LHR can use AC, SQ and UA in Satellite B and LH (business) and Plaza Premium in A.
Note its only C pax. Not status in Y.
But don't bother with Plaza... its crap. Encouraging pax to use this at least is a comfort that they're not charging Basia much compared to LH et al!

They contract the Art&Lounge, however, passengers could use the much more better Lufthansa or SAS Lounges. When C pax could use the Polaris Lounge, they were directing passengers to the crap lounge before security.
Probably LOT is paying less to these contract lounges than the amount that they pay *A partners.

My OH needs a few segments and I have a comrade who can fly them for her. She is too premium for that.
A few years ago, I recall KTW-WAW for as little as €10 in the summer. She could just shuttle something like that all day.
I was trying to build up something like SZY-KRK-WAW-IEG but there is only a fare filed for SZY-KRK-WAW and there's nothing special about adding IEG.
B2B is definitely easy at SZY and IEG. Actually even LHR T2 would work.
There must be some other segment whores here, or maybe some tips posted to Fl4Free for the Polish speakers?

LOT has new music on their service line. I wonder if this is Chopin.
