LOT Flight LO163 Compensation: Can You Claim Up to EUR 400?

LOT Flight LO163 usually refers to the direct Warsaw to Marrakesh service. If you are searching for compensation for LO163, the answer depends on what exactly happened: a long arrival delay, a cancellation, or involuntary denied boarding. If you want the fastest route to an eligibility check, start on ClaimWinger's main claim page.

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 distanceEU261 compensation
up to 1,500 kmEUR 250
1,500 - 3,500 km (LO163: ~2,800 km)EUR 400
over 3,500 kmEUR 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.

FAQ: LOT Flight LO163 compensation

What happened to LOT Flight LO163 today?

For live information about LOT Flight LO163 today, use LOT's official Flight Status page and search by flight number plus date. This article explains compensation rules, not live operational tracking.

Is LOT Flight LO163 delayed?

It may be on a given day, but the reliable answer comes from LOT's live flight status tool. For compensation, the key question is not only whether LO163 left Warsaw late, but whether it reached Marrakesh or your final destination at least 3 hours late.

How much compensation can LOT Flight LO163 pay?

LO163 is usually treated as a route above 1,500 km and below 3,500 km, so the usual EU261 amount is EUR 400 per passenger. That amount can still change if LOT proves extraordinary circumstances or offers rerouting that falls inside the legal thresholds for a 50 percent reduction.

Can LO163 compensation include denied boarding?

Yes. If you were involuntarily denied boarding on LO163 despite having a valid reservation and meeting the boarding conditions, EU261 can still apply. The exact amount for this route is usually linked to the EUR 400 distance bracket.

Does EU261 apply to LOT Flight LO163 from Warsaw to Marrakesh?

Usually yes. LO163 departs from the EU, so EU261 normally applies even though Marrakesh is outside the EU.

Check your LO163 case
