Lounge
As a business class passenger on LOT, I had access to the Aegean Business Lounge.
Boarding
Boarding at Gate 22 started around 3:30am with priority boarding given to business class passengers as usual.
Passenger bridge
Seat
The business class seats are the same as the economy seats except for that the seat beside you is blocked. The first 3 rows were "business class" seats and 4 of the 6 seats were occupied.
Blocked seat
Air vent and lights
LOT business class blanket and pillow

Entertainment
There are no entertainment screens although the usual inflight magazine "Kaleidoscope" is there.
Shortly after settling in, I was offered something to drink and the choice was between orange juice and water and I settled for the latter. Newspapers were also offered moments later.
Dining

As soon as the seatbelt sign was turned off, the purser came to my seat and asked if I wanted to drink something and I declined. She also asked if I wanted to have a meal but since it was 4 in the morning, I didn't feel like eating something. This flight was one of those where you would just want to go to sleep at once. I actually fell asleep a few minutes later.
Lavatory
LOT business class toilet
Arrival in Warsaw
As we landed in a remote area, we had to take a bus and as business class passengers, the four of us were taken by a private car to the Terminal.
I passed by the baggage carousel for our LOT flight although I didn't need to pick up anything because I only had my backpack with me.
CONCLUSION
It was my first time to fly on LOT and unfortunately, the flight time was one where it was hard to see the actual service in business class as most passengers including me would just want to go to sleep after take off. The seats were practically economy seats although our blankets and pillows looked much better than those in the economy section. I was able to have a good sleep and less than 30 minutes before landing, an announcement was made that we would be landing soon and that we need to fasten our seat belt. I thought that after the announcement, there was still enough time for the flight attendants to check on us and offer some hot towels or offer some last minute drinks but none was offered. The flight was okay but since there was no difference between the business class seat and the service, I definitely would not recommend to others to fly in business class on this route as it is just a waste of money.
