Quick answer
If LOT Flight LO163 arrived 3 or more hours late, was cancelled on too short notice, or you were involuntarily denied boarding, EU261 can often point to EUR 400 per passenger. The route starts in Warsaw inside the EU, which usually keeps LO163 inside EU261 scope even though Marrakesh is outside the EU.

Does EU261 apply to LOT Flight LO163?
Usually yes. LO163 departs from Warsaw, inside the EU, so EU261 normally applies even though Marrakesh is outside the EU. That is the core reason this route can still support compensation claims for delays, cancellations, and denied boarding.
Because the route usually falls into the distance bracket above 1,500 km but below 3,500 km, the headline amount most passengers care about is often EUR 400 rather than EUR 250 or EUR 600.
How much compensation can LO163 pay?
In the standard EU261 setup, LO163 usually points to EUR 400 per passenger. That is the typical amount if you arrived at least 3 hours late, if the flight was cancelled on too short notice, or if you were involuntarily denied boarding.
| Route distance | EU261 compensation |
|---|---|
| up to 1,500 km | EUR 250 |
| 1,500 - 3,500 km (LO163: ~2,800 km) | EUR 400 |
| over 3,500 km | EUR 600 |
LOT may still argue for a 50 percent reduction in some rerouting situations if the replacement flight got you to Marrakesh within the legal arrival thresholds. The exact result depends on what kind of disruption happened and how close the airline's alternative was to the original journey.
Delay, cancellation, and denied boarding are not the same
A long delay is usually measured at arrival in Marrakesh or at your final destination on the same booking. A cancellation claim focuses more on the 14-day rule, the timing of the notice, and the quality of the rerouting. Denied boarding cases usually turn on whether you were refused boarding against your will despite meeting the boarding conditions.
That is why the same flight number can lead to different legal outcomes. The route matters, but the disruption type matters just as much.
Can LO163 compensation include missed connections?
Yes, potentially. If Marrakesh was not your final destination and your onward segment was on the same booking, the legally relevant delay may be measured at the final destination shown on the ticket. That can strengthen a case that might look weaker if you only focus on the delay of the first segment.
If the onward flight was on a separate ticket, the case is usually weaker because the airline will argue that the disrupted contract ended earlier.
