LOT Flight LO22 Cancelled? Claim Up to EUR 600

LOT Flight LO22 usually refers to the direct Los Angeles (LAX) to Warsaw (WAW) service. If LO22 was cancelled, the first questions are usually simple: when were you told, what rerouting did LOT offer, and did the airline still owe you fixed compensation on top of rerouting or reimbursement. If you want a fast claim check, start on ClaimWinger's cancelled flight page.

Does EU261 apply if LOT Flight LO22 from Los Angeles to Warsaw was cancelled?

In the normal case, yes. This is the key point many passengers miss on return flights to Europe. LO22 starts outside the EU, but it is operated by LOT, an EU airline, and lands in Warsaw.

Under EU261, flights from a non-EU country into the EU can still be covered when the operating carrier is an EU carrier. That makes LO22 much stronger legally than a Los Angeles to Europe cancellation on a non-EU airline.

Question	Short answer
Does EU261 usually cover LO22?	Yes. Los Angeles to Warsaw on LOT is usually within scope.
Typical compensation band	Usually EUR 600 per passenger.
Does the 14-day rule matter?	Yes. Timing of notice is one of the main cancellation tests.
Can rerouting reduce the payout?	Yes, sometimes by 50 percent if the replacement arrival fits the legal limits.

When can cancelled LO22 compensation actually be paid?

The usual rule is simple in structure but messy in practice. If you were told about the cancellation of LO22 less than 14 days before departure, compensation is often on the table.

LOT can still resist compensation if it proves extraordinary circumstances or if the replacement itinerary it offered fits the legal departure and arrival windows. That is why the exact rerouting times matter so much.

How much can LOT Flight LO22 pay under EU261?

LO22 is a long-haul Los Angeles to Warsaw service above the 3,500 km threshold. That usually puts it in the EUR 600 bracket when the cancellation qualifies and LOT cannot prove a valid defense.

In some rerouting situations, the airline may reduce that by 50 percent. That does not mean the claim disappears. It only means the replacement flight may have limited the value of the fixed compensation.

Cancellation compensation is different from reimbursement and care

Compensation is the fixed EU261 amount. Reimbursement means getting the ticket price back. Care covers things like meals, hotel accommodation, and transport between the airport and the hotel where necessary.

On a long-haul route like LO22, care rights matter especially when rerouting happens the next day. If LOT left you waiting overnight, hotel and transport support may be part of the case even when the airline later disputes fixed compensation.

What if LO22 was delayed first and cancelled later?

This happens often in real disruption scenarios. The legal outcome depends on what finally happened to the original operation and whether passengers were moved to another service.

If the case is better described as a long delay rather than a clean cancellation, you can also compare it with ClaimWinger's delayed flight guide.

Care — meals, drinks, communication, and hotel when the wait is long.

What happened to LOT Flight LO22 today?

For live updates on LOT Flight LO22 today, use LOT's official Flight Status page and search by flight number plus date. This article explains cancellation compensation rules, not real-time operations.

If LOT Flight LO22 was cancelled, can I get compensation?

Often yes. LO22 departs from Los Angeles outside the EU, but it is operated by LOT, which is an EU carrier. If the cancellation notice came less than 14 days before departure and LOT cannot rely on extraordinary circumstances or a legally sufficient rerouting offer, compensation may still be due.

How much compensation can a cancelled LOT Flight LO22 pay?

Because LO22 is a long-haul route above 3,500 km, the standard EU261 amount is usually EUR 600 per passenger. In some rerouting cases, LOT may reduce that by 50 percent if the replacement flight reaches Warsaw within the legal arrival thresholds.

Does EU261 apply to a cancelled LOT Flight LO22 from Los Angeles to Warsaw?

Usually yes. Even though LO22 starts outside the EU, it is operated by LOT, an EU airline, and arrives in Warsaw. That is exactly the route pattern where EU261 can still apply.

If I accepted a replacement flight after LO22 was cancelled, do I lose compensation?

Not automatically. Accepting rerouting does not by itself kill compensation. The key questions are when LOT informed you and whether the replacement itinerary stayed inside the strict departure and arrival windows that can remove or reduce compensation.
