LOT Flight LO80 Cancelled: Compensation Guide for Tokyo to Warsaw
LOT Flight LO80 usually refers to the direct Tokyo to Warsaw service. If LO80 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.
Quick answer
If LO80 was cancelled less than 14 days before departure, this route can often mean EUR 600 per passenger under EU261 because the flight is operated by LOT, an EU carrier, and clearly sits in the highest long-haul compensation band. LOT may still avoid or reduce compensation if it proves extraordinary circumstances or offers a legally sufficient replacement itinerary.

Does EU261 apply to a cancelled LOT Flight LO80?
Usually yes. This is the legal point that matters most. LO80 starts outside the EU, but it lands in Warsaw and is operated by LOT, an EU carrier.
Under EU261, flights from outside the EU into the EU can still be covered when the operating airline is a Community carrier. That is why a cancellation on LO80 can still fall under the same framework as many departures from Europe.
How much compensation can LO80 cancellation pay?
LO80 is a long-haul Tokyo to Warsaw route above the 3,500 km threshold, so the standard EU261 amount is usually EUR 600 per passenger.
| Route distance | EU261 cancellation compensation |
|---|---|
| up to 1,500 km | EUR 250 |
| 1,500 - 3,500 km | EUR 400 |
| over 3,500 km (LO80: ~8,600 km) | EUR 600 |
LOT may still argue for a 50 percent reduction if it offered rerouting that got you to Warsaw within the legal arrival thresholds. The exact result depends on when the airline informed you and how close the replacement itinerary was to the original journey.
Why the 14-day rule matters on LO80
The classic cancellation question is whether LOT notified you more than 14 days before departure, between 7 and 14 days, or less than 7 days before departure. The later the notice, the harder it is for the airline to avoid compensation unless the replacement schedule stays inside strict legal windows.
That means two passengers on the same route can end up with very different outcomes depending on notice timing and rerouting quality.
Cancellation compensation is separate from refund and care
Even when LO80 was cancelled, your rights do not stop at the fixed compensation question. EU261 creates several parallel entitlements:
- Fixed compensation — typically EUR 600 per passenger.
- Refund of the unused ticket within 7 days, or rerouting on another flight.
- Care — meals, drinks, hotel, and transport while you wait.
These rights can exist alongside compensation rather than instead of it. Airlines often blur those categories together, but legally they are separate.

FAQ: LOT Flight LO80 cancelled compensation
What happened to LOT Flight LO80 today?
For live updates on LOT Flight LO80 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 LO80 was cancelled, can I get compensation?
Often yes. LO80 departs from Tokyo outside the EU, but it is operated by LOT, an EU carrier, and lands in Warsaw. That usually keeps the route within EU261 scope. 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 be due.
How much compensation can a cancelled LOT Flight LO80 pay?
Because LO80 is treated as a long-haul route above 3,500 km, the standard EU261 amount is usually EUR 600 per passenger. In some rerouting cases, LOT may try to reduce that by 50 percent if the replacement flight reaches Warsaw within the legal delay thresholds.
Does EU261 apply to a cancelled LOT Flight LO80 from Tokyo to Warsaw?
Usually yes. LO80 starts outside the EU, but the flight is operated by LOT, which is an EU carrier, and lands in Poland. That is exactly the kind of route where EU261 can still apply.
If I accepted a replacement flight after LO80 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.
Check your LO80 cancellation case
If you want to know whether LO80 points to EUR 600, a reduced amount after rerouting, or no fixed compensation because LOT met the legal timing thresholds, the fastest next step is to run the facts through ClaimWinger's cancelled flight form.
