For urgent family reasons I had to go to Warsaw in a hurry. My passport had expired at the end of November, and I made the mistake not to renew it immediately. I had to ask for a new one with the 24 hrs urgency procedure: that has cost me a whopping 250€. So, if I may give you some advice, renew your pasport in time, it will cost you only 69€.
I booked the flights through Internet. All flights are codeshared between SN and LO. I looked on both websites, and the prices were identical: 351€. I thus chose SN for the Privilege miles, more advantageous than the LO-LH-etc Miles & More. But the aircraft were LOT.
My departure to WAW on 4 February was on a B737-500 (LO234 departure 19.15 arrival 21.15). I had an aisle seat, which I prefer because I like to stretch my legs. Load factor was about 80% but I had an empty seat next to me. Excellent service: a nice cold dish (meat, patatoes, salad) and a chocolate bar, with a small bottle of wine, all served with a smile (of course, I could speak Polish with the stewardesses, but they had an excellent command of English as well). On time arrival after an uneventful flight.
For the return on 11 February I had similar conditions. Flight LO231 was also a Boeing 737-500, departure 19.45 arrival 21.50. Load factor 80%, but again a free seat next to my aisle seat. Another cold dish, this time with a selection of cheeses and a salad, a roll of bread, a chocolate bar and another bottle of wine, which I supplemented with an after dinner Bailey's. The plane departed on time, and thanks to favourable winds, arrived 20 minutes early.
If it were not for the circumstances of my travel, it would have been an excellent trip.
