LOT is considered a great airline, and just as safe as the other great airlines

It's a great airline.

On a side note,anyone ever flying LOT and has a few hour stop over,go to the city center it's a 10 min drive from WAW and go to Kosher Delight for a good meal.

Best is to let them know beforehand kosherdelightpoland@gmail.com  he actually has all over Poland restaurants.

Great airline, even comes with complementary horse and buggy service that picks you up from the tarmac after you land and brings you to customs.
Seriously though...as others have said-yes, it's a perfectly good airline.

Well, some people claim that it is the same idea as the Mun that the Jews eat in the dessert. You will feel whatever taste you will imagine your self while eating.

In EF are you searching for business in general or award availability?

LOT in EF can't see business awards so I don't know what you are looking at.

I flew 3 long haul legs on LOT's 787 in business class last year, I also flew TLV-WAW on their dated 737 with eurobusiness (3-3 with blocked middle).

One flight was out of JFK and they served the typical NY based KSML, really nothing special.
The two other flights I flew on them were out of WAW and they served the worst airline dog food I've ever seen, definitely not suitable food to rely on!
They managed to not load my KSML on the TLV-WAW flight.

The seat on the 787 is probably one of the best I've flown, the only downside is they are in 2's so the window seats have no direct aisle access, which wasn't an issue since on all 3 flights I had the seat next to me empty!
It is the same seat that AC uses on their A330's, AI on their 787's, TK on their 777-300ER and new A330-300, and others.
It's on the wider side compared to other business class's I've flown.
It has a fully flat bed, 180 degrees. It joins up with the ottoman in front, rather than suspending mid air, (IME when the footrest isn't supported, it doesn't stay flat under the wait of my feet).
The 787 supposedly has better air quality, feels like lower altitude and higher humidity, but I can't say I noticed a major difference but it was nice to be flying o modern plane. The windows are interesting, but in a way I prefer the traditional window shades as they totally block out all light when closed, while the electronically dimmable windows don't completely.
Some airlines have more spacious bathrooms in business class, but not LOT.

Generally the only detail about business class that's important to me, is the seat, the service and food (obviously, I get KSML anyway) don't really matter, so LOT works very well for me!
