Each passenger is allowed 1 checked bags as long as each bag adheres to the below requirements: For flight to/from the US/Canada: Maximum Dimensions: 62 linear inches/158 cm (length + width + height) for business and economy class. Maximum Weight: 70 lb/32 kg for business class; 50 lb/23 kg for economy class.

For 2026, LOT Polish Airlines offers a tiered baggage system for Economy Class that varies by ticket type and destination. On Economy Saver (the most restrictive tier), you are typically allowed one piece of cabin baggage up to 8kg (approx. 17.6 lbs) but no free checked bags. Economy Standard and Flex tiers usually include one checked bag up to 23kg (50 lbs) and one 8kg cabin bag. For intercontinental flights (e.g., from the U.S. or Canada), the allowance often stays at one 23kg bag, though some higher-tier Economy Flex tickets may allow for two. All passengers are permitted one small personal item (like a laptop bag or purse) weighing no more than 2kg. If your checked bag exceeds 23kg but stays under 32kg, you will face an "overweight" fee ranging from €45 to €115 depending on the route. It is vital to check your specific booking as "Basic" or "Saver" fares are strictly carry-on only to keep fares competitive with low-cost European carriers.

That’s an excellent question, but it requires a specific answer because LOT Polish Airlines’ baggage allowance depends entirely on your route and fare type.

There is no single “economy” allowance. Instead, you need to check your specific booking. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and how to find your exact allowance.

The Two Systems: Weight vs. Piece Concept

LOT uses two different baggage systems:

1. Weight Concept (Most common for flights within Europe and to/from Israel, Georgia, etc.):

   • You have a total weight allowance for all your checked bags.
   • Typical Economy Allowance: 23 kg (50 lbs) total.
   • You can check this weight in one bag (max 32 kg / 70 lbs per bag) or split it between multiple bags (e.g., two bags at 15 kg and 8 kg).
   • Hand Luggage: Usually 1 piece up to 8 kg (17.5 lbs), with max dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in), plus a small personal item (handbag, laptop bag).

2. Piece Concept (Standard for flights to/from the USA, Canada, and some other long-haul destinations):

   • You are allowed a specific number of bags, each with its own weight limit.
   • Typical Economy Allowance: 1 piece of checked baggage, each weighing up to 23 kg (50 lbs).
   • Hand Luggage: Same as above: 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item.

How to Find Your EXACT Allowance:

This is the most important step. Your allowance is tied to your ticket.

1. Check Your Booking Confirmation or E-ticket: Look for a code like “1PC” or “23KG”. This tells you the system and allowance.
2. Use LOT’s Official Baggage Calculator: This is the most reliable method.
   • Go to the LOT Polish Airlines website.
   • Find the “Baggage” section and use their “Baggage Calculator” or “Check your baggage allowance” tool.
   • Enter your booking/PNR code and last name. It will display the precise rules for your itinerary.
3. Check Your Fare Conditions: When you booked, your fare type (e.g., Economy Basic, Economy Classic, Economy Flex) determines the baggage rules. You can review these conditions on LOT’s website or your booking confirmation.
