It seems this is just a MAX route, subbed again. Every flight so far has been 7M8.
At least they're not hiding its just European C. See what I mean about Row 1 on the glorious, safe, MAX? For passengers of size that would be like wearing a corset.
You'd have to be off your rocker to pay 5000 PLN for this. The Plusgrade upgrades start at 2200 ex-WAW and 2300 back.
Loads in C are not that bad, but it could be full of staff, I've no idea:
30/09:
11/24 C, 3/6 P, 87/144 Y
03/10
9/16 C, 3/6 P, 68/156 Y
With these loads, we can't say its due to weight issues...

- LOT needs more public help
Of course blaming COVID and wrong IATA predictions- Complaining about lack of compensation from Boeing for MAX'es grounding

Emirates doesn't apply piece baggage concept for most routes and 50kgs mean 50kgs with no piece number restriction but still a single bag couldn't weigh more than 32kgs due to labor restrictions.

Are they re-introducing the Q400 on the DXB route? With fuel stop in CLJ and ESB...? ;-)
For those who don't know about it: They are flying with the MAX8 to DXB. The look on the face of the nowobogaciki (nouveau riche) when they board the plane and see the C class is said to be priceless. Even the largest pair of luxury designer sunglasses can't hide the disgust. But I'm sure that this is not what you are intending to tell us, hugolover .

Nothing unusual I would say.
Talking about extreme, W6 is using A321 to AUH.
More civilised A3 is using A320 neo on DUB-ATH
so LO using Max8 is not that bad actually.
LH swapped proper business for super uncomfortable NEKs to North Africa long time ago.

They don’t fly the incredibly safe and well-designed 737 MAX to DXB. That’s happened literally a couple of times since the route launched when the load was super light. It’s exclusively 738’s LWF/G. When the route was conceived they had a dedicated C cabin but that was retrofitted last year to the usual European cabin.
What I heard on Dubai is what I gleamed from the staff there, they block off a couple of dozen seats on LO122 because it’s weight restricted due to DXB being Dubai for take off performance (obvs) and the very long flight time of 6 hours due to UA airspace being closed. This also means they sometimes have to leave behind tens of tens of bags. This snowballs because this issue only goes away when the load is light.
Those 738’s are MAXxed out.. lol
Poor Basia…

And BTW I recall a fairly famous local football player already posted some 'DXB C-class' pictures on Insta creating some PR problem for LO. At least his bags made it to WAW
