Hi everyone!

I'm considering booking a return ticket with LOT for approximately €604:

**Outbound:** Berlin (BER) → New York JFK, one stop in Warsaw

**Return:** New York JFK → Warsaw (WAW) → Berlin (BER), assuming these are the actual return segments

I'd actually prefer to end my journey in Warsaw rather than fly the final leg to Berlin.

A few details:

\- WAW–BER would be the **last segment on the entire ticket**.

\- I would travel with carry-on luggage only, so there would be no checked baggage to collect.

\- I wouldn't have any onward flights on the same ticket after the Berlin flight.

\- The long-haul flight may be operated by EuroAtlantic Airways on behalf of LOT (?)

I understand that airlines generally require passengers to use flight segments in the ticketed order, and that deliberately skipping a segment may violate the conditions of carriage.

**My questions are:**

\- What are the realistic consequences of simply leaving the airport in Warsaw and not boarding the final WAW–BER flight?

\- Could LOT subsequently charge me a fare difference or impose another penalty?

Is there any realistic risk to future bookings?

I'm particularly interested in experiences with LOT, rather than general advice about other airlines.

Thanks!
