United-LOT Polish Airlines codeshare lapses

Star Alliance members United and LOT Polish Airlines have allowed their long-standing codeshare agreement to lapse.

The agreement expired during the last week of September, according to the website AeroRoutes, which sources airline schedule changes within the GDSs, on individual airline websites and using the data provider OAG.

United declined to comment.

United had placed its code on LOT routes onward from Warsaw, Poland, to Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt and London Heathrow.

LOT was placing its code on 17 United-operated routes, all from Chicago.

The two airlines did not codeshare on flights between Poland and the U.S.

Due to the carriers’ continued relationship as part of the Star Alliance, United MileagePlus members can still earn and redeem frequent flyer points on LOT flights.

LOT currently flies seven U.S. routes, serving five U.S. destinations, Cirium flight schedule data shows. No other airline flies nonstop between Poland and the U.S.
