LOT Flight LO98 Cancelled? Claim Up to EUR 600

LOT Flight LO98 usually refers to the direct Seoul (ICN) to Warsaw service. If LO98 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 to a cancelled LOT Flight LO98?

Usually yes. This is the core legal point behind most LO98 cancellation claims. The flight departs from Seoul, outside the EU, but it is usually operated by LOT, an EU carrier, and lands in Warsaw. That normally keeps the route inside EU261 scope.

That means LO98 can still support compensation after a cancellation if the airline cannot rely on extraordinary circumstances and if the replacement itinerary does not fit inside the legal safe harbor windows.

LO98 cancellation scenario	Typical outcome
Cancelled less than 14 days before departure	Often up to EUR 600 per passenger
Rerouting offered within legal time windows	Compensation may be reduced or fully avoided
Cancelled 14 or more days in advance	Fixed compensation is usually much weaker or unavailable
Extraordinary circumstances properly proven	Reimbursement and care may still apply even if fixed compensation does not

How much compensation can cancelled LO98 pay?

LO98 is a long-haul Seoul to Warsaw route above the 3,500 km threshold, so the standard EU261 amount usually points to EUR 600 per passenger when the cancellation qualifies.

LOT may still argue for a 50 percent reductionin some rerouting cases if the replacement flight reaches Warsaw or your final destination within the legal arrival thresholds.

Why the 14-day rule matters on LO98

The headline question is often not just whether LO98 was cancelled, but when LOT told you. A cancellation announced 14 or more days in advance is treated differently from one announced closer to departure.

Inside that 14-day window, the quality of the alternative flight becomes critical. LOT can sometimes avoid or reduce compensation if it offered rerouting that stayed inside the strict departure and arrival windows set by EU261.

Does rerouting after cancelled LO98 remove compensation?

Not automatically. Accepting a replacement flight to Warsaw does not by itself destroy compensation. The key is whether the new itinerary kept you within the legal thresholds that let LOT avoid or reduce the fixed amount.

That is one reason many passengers still have a valid claim even after traveling on a later flight. The airline may owe rerouting and still owe fixed compensation at the same time.

If LOT Flight LO98 was cancelled, can I get compensation?

Often yes. LO98 departs from Seoul outside the EU, but it is usually operated by LOT, an EU carrier, so EU261 can still apply on this route into Warsaw. 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 LO98 pay?

Because LO98 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 or your final destination within the legal arrival thresholds.

Usually yes. LO98 starts outside the EU, but it is typically operated by LOT, an EU carrier, on a route into Warsaw. That is one of the standard cases where EU261 can still apply.

If I accepted a replacement flight after LO98 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.
