Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

LOT Polish Airlines liquids policy

Ordinary liquids: containers up to 100 ml in one transparent resealable 1-litre bag. Medicines, special dietary products and baby food needed during travel have exceptions; duty-free liquids need the required security bag. Some airports permit different quantities, so check every departure and transfer airport.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Children under 2 receive one 55×40×23 cm cabin bag up to 8 kg, one 40×35×12 cm personal item up to 2 kg, and an extra bag of essentials, including in Economy Saver.

Stroller

A lap infant may bring a foldable stroller OR car seat free, collected before boarding and returned after disembarking. Children 2–12 or under 2 with a separate seat may bring both.

Car seat

An infant under 2 occupying a separate seat must travel in an appropriate child car seat meeting LOT requirements. The lap-infant free item allowance is stroller OR car seat, not both.

Children's allowance

Children over 2 receive the adult baggage allowance for their class.

Published limits apply to LOT-operated flights; check the operator on partner segments. Excess attracts applicable charges, which are not quoted as a universal fee. A compliant cabin bag may be put in the hold at no additional cost on a full flight. Listed long-haul destinations are taken from the current carry-on table, not historical route lists.
