LOT Polish Airlines launched a new connection to Malaga – one of the most sought-after holiday destinations

15 January 2026

On 15 January 2026, LOT Polish Airlines inaugurated regular flights from Warsaw to Malaga.
The route from Warsaw to Malaga will ultimately operate six times a week – every day except Tuesdays.
Not only does Malaga enchant visitors with its beautiful beaches, it is also an excellent destination for historical and cultural trips.

Malaga, located in the picturesque region of Andalusia, charms tourists with its natural beauty and impresses them with countless attractions. A morning stroll along the beach can be rounded off with a visit to a Moorish-style palace, a Renaissance cathedral or an ancient theatre. While in the capital of the Costa del Sol, you are sure to experience a whole new dimension of relaxation, leaving you with lasting memories long after you are back home.

For the first month, flights on the WAW-AGP-WAW route will operate 3 to 4 times a week; however, in late February, the national carrier will invite passengers aboard its hospitable aircraft six times a week – every day except Tuesdays. So, LO439 flights will depart from Chopin Airport at 10:20 a.m. (10:15 a.m. on Fridays), and passengers will take off back aboard LO440 at 3:35 p.m. Meanwhile, the upcoming summer season will bring some minor changes. Passengers will depart at 10:20 a.m. (WAW-AGP) and 3:30 p.m. (AGP-WAW), respectively, spending approximately four hours in the air.

The launch of direct flights from Warsaw to Malaga opens up one of Southern Europe’s most attractive regions to our passengers. Malaga and the entire Costa del Sol region boast a unique blend of rich cultural heritage, modern urban infrastructure and world-class tourist facilities – from historical monuments and museums to Mediterranean cuisine and renowned resorts. At the same time, the region is developing dynamically as a business and technology hub, attracting both investors and international companies.

While Malaga undoubtedly has a lot to offer, when visiting Andalusia you can’t help feeling that it’s worth exploring its other corners as well. In Seville, a stroll around Plaza de España is a must. The best time to visit Córdoba is in May, during the Patio Festival, when the inner courtyards are decorated with flowers. Marbella, on the other hand, is the perfect place to relax on one of its many picturesque beaches. Still, you can’t really say you’ve been to Andalusia without visiting Gibraltar. This British enclave at the crossroads of two continents enchants visitors with its proximity to nature and unique history.

Sound of waves, pace of life, nature’s beauty

To discover what Malaga is really like, it is worth planning a walk along the Muelle Uno harbour promenade. Renovated in 2011, today it bustles with life from morning to evening, regardless of the season. The ubiquitous restaurants and tapas terraces tempt visitors with the extraordinary aromas of local cuisine, while craft fairs, concerts and open-air cinemas ensure that you will never be bored here. You may enjoy the pleasant buzz accompanied by exceptional views of yachts and larger ships moored in the harbour, as well as the queen of this region – the La Farola lighthouse.

Costa del Sol or Costa del Golf

While Malaga is well known as the heart of the Costa del Sol region, many tourists refer to the area as the Costa del Golf – all because of the numerous golf courses, so numerous that they have given the region its nickname. According to the Royal Andalusian Golf Federation, there are around 100 officially registered golf courses here, which stand out for their picturesque locations and views unmatched anywhere else. With the lush greenery of nature and the sound of the Mediterranean Sea, playing each hole is not only a sporting achievement but also a treat for the soul.
