WAW's strongest lounge after its 2025 refurbishment, though busy periods can still strain seating and restrooms.
Polonez is LOT's main Schengen lounge near Gates 24-26; its Gold section is an exclusive zone within the same facility. The 2025 rebuild added space, refreshed dining and relaxation areas, making it a meaningful step up from the airport's third-party lounges.
Recent reports are broadly positive on the upgrade and buffet, while crowding, limited outlets and small restrooms remain recurring complaints. It is worth prioritizing if your ticket or status gets you in.
