LOT Polish Airlines operates the only non-stop, flight LO72/LO73, around six times a week on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. For one-stop journeys you have plenty of choice: Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai and Etihad via Abu Dhabi all connect Delhi to Warsaw, typically in 11–16 hours total. LOT has also signalled new long-haul growth from Delhi via its Warsaw hub, reinforcing the city's role as a Central European gateway.
Non-stop Delhi → Warsaw is approximately 8 hours 30 minutes over roughly 6,300 km. A typical LOT departure leaves Delhi mid-morning and arrives in Warsaw around midday local time. Warsaw is 3h 30m behind India in summer (CEST, UTC+2) and 4h 30m behind in winter (CET, UTC+1), so you gain most of the day on arrival.
Poland's high season is May to September, when Warsaw is at its liveliest with long days, festivals and outdoor cafés — fares peak in the European summer and during the Indian summer holidays. December draws visitors for Christmas markets and festive lights. The cheapest fares are usually in the shoulder and winter months (late autumn and January–February, outside the festive peak). Book 8–12 weeks ahead for summer travel and earlier for peak July–August dates. Fares move daily — confirm the live price in the FlightGPT search.
On a route with one non-stop and many one-stops, comparison pays. One-stop fares via the Gulf (Qatar, Emirates, Etihad) or Istanbul often undercut LOT's non-stop, especially in peak summer — worth it if you do not mind the extra hours. Flying in the May or September shoulder rather than mid-summer saves meaningfully. Mid-week departures are typically cheaper. If Warsaw is a connecting point for you, a single LOT through-ticket to your final European city can beat separate bookings. We never quote a fixed rupee fare — check live in the FlightGPT search.
Delhi (DEL) — LOT and most full-service international carriers use Indira Gandhi International Airport's Terminal 3 (T3). Warsaw (WAW) — Warsaw Chopin Airport is the main international gateway and LOT's hub, about 10 km south of the city centre. It is well connected by train (the S2/S3 lines and SKM rail link reach the centre in around 20–25 minutes) and by bus and taxi. Allow enough connection time at Chopin if you are continuing on LOT to another European city.
LOT Polish Airlines economy on long-haul routes typically includes 23 kg checked + 8 kg cabin, with premium and business cabins allowing more; the cheapest LOT Economy Saver fares may include cabin baggage only, so check before booking. One-stop carriers like Qatar, Emirates and Lufthansa generally allow 25–30 kg in economy. Always confirm the allowance for your exact fare class, as long-haul Saver/Light fares increasingly strip checked baggage.
Poland is in the Schengen area, so Indian travellers need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa, which allows stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole Schengen zone. Apply through the official Polish visa route in India (via VFS Global), with the standard adult fee of €90 plus service charges. Biometrics are required for first-time applicants and remain valid for about five years. Poland should be your main destination or first point of entry when applying. Processing usually takes around 15 working days but can be longer in peak season, so apply well ahead. Confirm current requirements officially before booking non-refundable travel.
If you fly one-stop, the main hubs are Istanbul (IST) on Turkish, Doha (DOH) on Qatar, Dubai (DXB) on Emirates and Frankfurt/Munich on Lufthansa. Warsaw Chopin itself is a strong onward hub — LOT connects it to dozens of European cities and to North America, so Delhi–Warsaw is also a convenient first leg for trips to the Baltics, Central Europe or the US. Keep at least a 2-hour layover for international connections.
Warsaw is affordable by Western European standards, with good public transport and a walkable Old Town (rebuilt after WWII and UNESCO-listed). Carry a contactless card — Poland is very card-friendly — plus some Polish złoty for small purchases. Summers are mild and pleasant; pack layers even in shoulder season. Pre-order special meals on LOT if you need vegetarian or Jain options. Compare every connected source live in the FlightGPT search.
Warsaw is a city of striking contrasts — a meticulously rebuilt medieval Old Town beside gleaming glass towers, sombre WWII memorials beside buzzing riverside bars. Highlights include the Royal Castle, Łazienki Park, the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. It is also a budget-friendly base for exploring Kraków, Gdańsk and the wider region. For Indian travellers it offers a less-crowded, value-rich entry point into Europe.
