LOT Polish Airlines to launch flights from London City to Budapest

Following on from the announcement last week that LOT was launching London City to Warsaw in the New Year, the airline has now announced London City to Budapest.

From 7th January, LOT will fly twice a day (once at weekends) to Budapest using a new Embraer 190 aircraft.

I didn’t know that LOT was now running long-haul flights from Budapest to New York and Chicago, so this would be an (admittedly obscure) way of spending Star Alliance miles on a trip to the United States is availability was not available on direct flights.
