LOT Polish Airlines started direct flights to Malaga
In line with its strategy for 2024-2028 and responding to clear market and passenger demand, LOT Polish Airlines is expanding its scheduled network with another attractive destination. This latest addition invites travellers aboard LOT's comfortable aircraft to Malaga, with the inaugural flight set for 15 January 2026. During the winter months, flights between Warsaw and Malaga will depart on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday at 10:20, with return flights leaving Malaga on the same days at 15:35. From 24 February, frequency will rise to six weekly flights. Flight duration is around four hours. 'The launch of our new Malaga route directly reflects genuine market demand and marks a significant step forward in improving connections between Poland and Andalusia. Costa del Sol has been increasingly popular among Polish travellers in recent years, chosen by over 100 thousand Poles as their holiday destination last year alone. With its Mediterranean sunshine, exceptional culture, and vibrant Andalusian charm, Malaga continues to attract growing numbers of visitors seeking warm weather, local tastes, and authentic experiences. I am confident that our passengers will love this newest addition to our Spanish route network.' says Robert Ludera, Commercial Proxy and Director of Network Planning at LOT Polish Airlines. Malaga's charm lies not just in its inviting Spanish warmth and flair, but also in its outstanding climate. With over 300 sunny days per year and average temperatures around 23°C, summer lasts distinctly longer here than in much of Europe. Malaga is a city brimming with history that is visible at every turn. Wherever you look, echoes of the past transport you back through the centuries. The Roman legacy is perfectly captured by the Teatro Romano, dating back to the 1st century, while the Alcazaba Fortress, Malaga's most significant Moorish landmark, offers beautifully preserved ruins and breathtaking views across the city.
