Step by Step

How to book your Cello on LOT Polish Airlines

Call the LOT Contact Center at +48 22 577 99 52 and request an extra seat (EXST) for your cello.
Provide the dimensions and weight of your cello case during the booking so LOT can assign an appropriate seat.
Arrive at the check-in counter at least 90 minutes before departure to allow staff to arrange cabin transport.
Secure the cello on the booked seat using the seatbelt, ensuring it does not block emergency exits or the aisle.

Book the extra seat as early as possible, as availability may be limited on certain aircraft types such as the Embraer 170/190 used on short-haul routes. For connections via Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), allow sufficient transfer time.
