How to find out the cheapest air ticket? - part 1

by matcrazy1

.1. If you are looking for the cheapest airfare to Poland DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, check first airfare on the LOT Polish Airline page: www.lot.com - believe me, it's probably always the cheapest, especially flights from the USA. Note: the cheapest airfares on www.lot.com are available in 18 countries, not at all dates and number of cheap tickets is limited, if they are sold out you will find higher prices..2. First check if it is possible to book/buy a ticket in your country (18 countries on the list of processing countries), if not check the prices from the country nearest you and go to point 5; .3. Check promotions for your country;.4. Build your itinery, if the price is higher:- change the date of departure/arrival (usually better prices are on Tue-Thu),- choose another flights (avoid other airlines then AA-American Airlines marked as Code-share and LO-LOT Polish Airlines, avoid other...

Why LOT Polish Airlines?

by matcrazy1

Why LOT Polish Airlines?.1. TRADITION and long experience on the market (founded: January 1, 1929; LOT is one of the oldest airlines in the world).2. THE BEST QUALITY of services. - "Best Airline Based in Eastern Europe 2002" (for the second time the prestigious award handed out by OAG)2001 - Business Traveller`s award of "Best Central and Eastern European Airline" for the fourth time. - 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 the British magazine, Business Travel World, named LOT the "International Business Airline, Eastern Europe". .3. THE BEST PRICESIs it possible without decreasing the quality? Yes, it is in my opinion. First: LOT doesn't spend much money for promotion, commercials etc. Second: salaries of LOT employees are much lower then in other airlines, they are high only if you compare them to average Polish salary (about 400 Euro/USD netto a month). So, they motivates employees very much,...
