When I sat down I noticed that the seat width was very tight and there was a guy sitting next to me and he was barely fitting in his seat and was pressing the armrest in my hip. I wish someone had wrote that LOT has very tight seats, otherwise I'd have switched to another airline or bought their premium economy which is $300 more per leg and if you buy it at the airport the same day it is $200 more. This made the flight very uncomfortable for the next 8:30 hours. Later I read in seat guru that their seat width is 16.9, which is one of the tightest between all airlines, wished I had read it earlier. The pitch was good though.

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for your report!!
    I was expecting someone to report LO B787 in economy class.
    It's a pity that seats are tiny but meal seem to be very good, and your opinion just confirm it!

    WAW is an efficient airport.
    Concerning YYZ, i was flying with LH in 2010 and i get impression nothing changed in this terminal.

    Hope you enjoyed your stay at Pearl of Danube :) :)

    See you,
    Benoit

    Thanks for your report and letting us discover the cabin of this B787 of LOT. The cabin looks nice and new but I trust you regarding the confort as the seat look indeed very narrow . The pic of the premium economy looks like it's worth paying for the upgrade.
    The meal is fine as well as the pre arrival snack.
    Thanks for the Budapest bonus too.

      Thanks Skyteam. Yes, I probably would not fly with them again as long as they have these narrow seated 787s around but the crew, meal and service was very good. I think if you are a smaller person or for ladies these narrow seats maybe better but for sure not for guys lol.

    Thanks for this FR.

    Too bad the confort is bad because otherwise I find the experience on LO pretty good, with a nice catering and IFE and also friendly FAs it seems.

    Nice pics of Budapest as well, I really want to visit this city as well.

    Thanks for sharing this report!

    LOT seems to have improved from the 767s, even when the seats are, as usual for the Dreamliner, cramped.

    I loved the design of the snackboxes.

    Budapest looks lovely, awesome pictures!

    Thank you very much for sharing this report!

    I have never flown a B787, but I feel like they are narrow planes so the 3-3-3 configuration must be really tight. Only 200 more for Y+ would have have been worth it. Most Japanese carriers also use the 17 wide seats which I find very narrow.

    Catering looks very strong on LO getting a full dinner service (it does look very good for Y, not exploded like you normally see) and a nice snack pre-arrival.

    I really like the LO livery and the cabin colors look good.

    Nice spotting of the retro-LO livery.

    Beautiful bonus of Budapest!

    Thank you for sharing another visually stunning FR.

    I flew LO from ORD-WAW a long time ago and I agree with your impressions of this carrier. The crew that I had was professional and seemed eager to please. I was fortunate to be in J and during a conversation with a FA I asked about the meals in Y. He took me back to the galley and showed me a few samples from the cart. I thought that was a nice touch. LO might not be the most sophisticated or renowned carrier, but the staff was genuine and made a whole world of a difference.

    I love the design touches on LO like the napkins and refreshing towels. It adds some local flavor to the onboard experience in my humble opinion. Your meal looks satisfying and the Polo bar is a nice way to end the meal. Snack before arrival is decent and at least better than the lacking breakfast that I was served on BA when I flew them from SFO-LHR.

    BUD is an underrated destination and your beautiful report brought me memories of a previous visit. When I was there in the mid 2000's it was good value for the money and I enjoyed the food. Hungarians have a hearty cuisine. ;)

    Oh I forgot to mention that it seems that the seats in Y on the 787's in general are very tight. I have read other complaints about this.

      Thanks so much Jetsetpanda. Yes, the meals were much better than many other airlines and were very fresh. The biggest downside was the tight seats, if I knew how tight these are I'd have for sure upgraded. Since it was my first ever 787 experience I wanted to try the economy. That's the same with all the airlines I have flown. It's nice to get a taste of the economy before switching over to Business or first but my first experience with 787 was very disappointing. This along with the A340-600 of Lufthansa have had the tightest seats I have ever been on.

    Thanks for another beautiful report. The cabin looks visually nice, but this is yet another report that confirms that 787s in a 3-3-3 configuration are tight and uncomfortable. I'm looking forward to flying a 787, but hopefully not in Economy. Nice cabin shots. The Premium Economy cabin looks quite comfortable. Great bonus pics at the end.

    Thanks for sharing!
