Going back to my wife's travels. LOT Polish Airline is not a bad airline. It provides reasonable and fairly dependent connection to Eastern Europe, specially to Hungary. She told me that the planes were totally full which is interesting at this time of the year. The majority of the passengers were Polish and Ukrainians with a number of orthodox Jews. The latter because there are good connecting flights from Warsaw to Israel.
Interestingly the food was not bad out of JFK. In addition to the food there were soft drinks and even alcohol served. On the return trip to JFK the food was terrible, and drinks were in limited supply with no alcohol. My explanation is that the American airport kitchen is better than the Polish airport kitchen. Maybe yes, maybe no.
The problem with this airline that it is impossible to get in contact with them. It doesn't matter what telephone number one calls, even a New York line it connects somewhere into the bowels of Poland where they have no clue to the local conditions here and if you get lucky enough to get through to a live person you get a generic answer in strong Polish accent to your inquiry. But they are cheaper and in reality, you get what you pay for.
Because of the prevailing sentiment against Americans in Europe, there were almost no tourists visible on any of her planes. That is pretty sad because killing the tourist business will have a negative effect on the hospitality industry also hurting small dependable businesses. Hatefulness cost nothing, it is free, but its consequences are very costly. Unfortunately, people don't take that into consideration when they embark on a trip of hatefulness.
