Honest Review of LOT Polish Airlines Long Haul / Short Haul Service - Flying to Miami for a Cruise

LOT Polish Airlines is actually one of the world's oldest airlines! On our way to a transatlantic cruise with the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas, we tried this airline to fly from Hamburg to Miami. Many people were warning us not to book this flight, so how was it? #travel #miami #airlinereview

    Hi Morgan, they served unsalted peanuts because salt can cause your body to retain fluid, which can cause swollen ankles and dehydration, especially on long flights.

    "Just a Polish airline that nobody knows about"? Let me rectify you. LOT is actually one of the OLDEST airlines in the world, it's been flying around 100 years now. I've flown with them several times and their fleet, service and amenities are all top notch compared to many other airlines.

    We flew LOT when adopting our first son ages ago (1998) and it remains one of our favorite and most memorable flights. While the plane was older and a bit run down, the crew were exceptional and so kind to a couple of new parents from America and our then 10 month old.

    My husband was on a cross country flight years ago and when it came to "meal time" the flight attendant said to him "oh, your meal is in the back - let me grab it" He was served something much better than the standard meal and his seatmate (no middle seat on this flight) asked how he got that meal. He said "oh, I ordered the kosher meal". The rest of the flight, this guy kept looking at him like "you don't look Jewish" - which he's not but there is no religious requirement to ordering a kosher meal. 🙂

    We flew on a United 787 from Washington Dulles to Beijing a few years ago. 14 1/2 hour flight. I was in a left side window seat. We flew straight north to just east of the North Pole and then due south into Beijing. The sun was in my face for literally the entire flight. Since the window could only be tinted, I wore sunglasses the whole flight. It might have been better had I been in a “middle seat”. Nope, don’t think so. Lol! Great video as always!

    Considering so many airlines recently are earning reputations for increased fares with all kinds of additional fees, decreased amenities such as free non-alcoholic drinks & snacks, shrinking leg room (and I am only 5'2") & seat size, noticeably dirtier cabins & washrooms, and ever larger percentages of grumpy, disinterested, or disgruntled cabin crew, it is lovely to hear of someone having an acceptably pleasant, non-delayed, early arrival flight with a few old style perks still on offer. Whether I was or not, I too would have been surprised by unsalted nuts, and would applaude the food for being identifiable as well as edible (another rarity these days). What a very different experience this was from your last flight... the very thought of which still gives me nightmares. Great info, enjoyably & clearly presented.... well done as always.
