LOT Flight LO035 Delay Compensation: Warsaw to San Francisco Claim Guide
LOT Flight LO035 usually refers to the direct Warsaw to San Francisco service. If you are searching for delay compensation for LO035, the key legal question is usually whether you arrived in San Francisco 3 or more hours late. If you want the fastest path to an eligibility check, start on ClaimWinger's main claim page.
Quick answer
If LOT Flight LO035 arrived in San Francisco 3 or more hours late, EU261 can often point to EUR 600 per passenger. This is because LO035 departs from Warsaw, inside the EU, and that usually keeps the route inside EU261 scope even though San Francisco is outside the EU.

Does EU261 apply to LO035 from Warsaw to San Francisco?
Usually yes. This is the main legal point for LO035. The flight departs from Warsaw, inside the EU, and that usually keeps the route inside EU261 scope even though San Francisco is outside the EU.
So if LO035 reached San Francisco at least three hours late and the disruption was within the airline's responsibility, fixed compensation may still be available under EU261.
| LO035 delay scenario | Typical outcome |
|---|---|
| Arrival under 3 hours late | Fixed compensation is usually unavailable |
| Arrival 3+ hours late and airline responsible | Often EUR 600 per passenger |
| Delay caused by extraordinary circumstances | Care rights may stay, fixed compensation may fail |
| Rerouting kept arrival close to schedule | The amount may be reduced by 50 percent |
Why LO035 is usually an EUR 600 route
LO035 is a classic long-haul route above the 3,500 km threshold. That is why the standard EU261 figure is usually EUR 600 per passengerwhen the legal conditions are met.
This matters because many passengers focus only on the delay itself and overlook the distance band. On LO035, the long-haul distance is usually what puts the claim in the top bracket.
Departure delay is not enough on its own
A late pushback from Warsaw does not automatically create a valid compensation claim. EU261 delay compensation is usually measured at arrival, not departure.
That means the legally important issue is whether LO035 reached San Francisco at least three hours late, or whether time was recovered en route and the final delay dropped below the threshold.
Can LOT reduce compensation after rerouting?
In some situations, yes. If LOT rerouted you and the replacement itinerary still got you to San Francisco within the legal arrival windows, the airline may try to reduce the standard amount by 50 percent.
So the real value of an LO035 claim depends not only on whether there was a disruption, but also on the exact arrival outcome after any replacement flight.
How to check what happened to LOT Flight LO035 today
For live status information, use LOT's official flight status tool and search by flight number plus date. That helps you separate a real long arrival delay from a short operational issue that did not cross the legal threshold.
Evidence checklist for a strong delay claim:
- Boarding pass and booking reference (PNR).
- All messages from LOT (email, SMS, app push).
- Screenshots of the actual arrival time from LOT.com or a third-party tracker.
- Photos of the airport arrivals/departures board.
- Receipts for meals, hotel, and transport — if LOT failed to provide care.
- Tickets for any missed onward connection.
Which ClaimWinger path fits an LO035 delay case?
If the issue was mainly delay, the most direct route is usually ClaimWinger's delayed flight page. If the facts later turn out to involve cancellation or a more complex rerouting problem, the broader main claim form is also a safe starting point.

Is LOT Flight LO035 delayed if it left Warsaw late?
Not always in the legal sense. EU261 delay compensation is usually based on arrival at the final destination, not just departure from Warsaw. The key question is usually whether LO035 reached San Francisco at least 3 hours late.
How much compensation can LOT Flight LO035 pay?
LO035 is a long-haul route above 3,500 km, so the usual EU261 amount is EUR 600 per passenger if the legal conditions are met. In some rerouting scenarios the amount can be reduced by 50 percent.
Does EU261 apply to LOT Flight LO035 to San Francisco?
Usually yes. LO035 departs from Warsaw, which is inside the EU, so EU261 normally applies regardless of the fact that San Francisco is outside the EU.
Can a missed connection after LO035 also be compensated?
Potentially yes, especially if San Francisco was not your final destination and the onward flight was on the same reservation. In that situation, the legally relevant delay may be measured at the final destination shown on the ticket.
