LOT Polish Airlines has opened a business lounge at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. It is the carrier's first business lounge in North America.
The 6,600-square-foot lounge seats 165 and is in the central area of O'Hare's Terminal 5. Features include a mix of Polish and local cuisines, fast Wi-Fi that can accommodate videoconferencing and streaming, charging stations and windows with an automatic dimming function.
The lounge is open to business class passengers, first and business class passengers on Star Alliance carriers, passengers with Gold status with Star Alliance or the equivalent with its individual carriers, and passengers flying business class on other contracted airlines.
Passengers who do not qualify can purchase entry at a cost of $55 for LOT premium economy passengers, $60 for Lot economy passengers and $70 for any other passengers.
Chicago has one of the largest Polish communities in the world. LOT said it is one of the airline's "most important destinations." LOT flies from Chicago to Warsaw and Krakow, and more than 250,000 passengers flew those routes last year, according to the carrier.
