In 1937 LOT opened a service to Palestine. The flying time from Warsaw to the new airport at Lydda (Lod, now Ben Gurion Airport) was 13 hours, but the trip took 28 hours with an overnight stop in Bucharest. The other stops were Lwów and Cernăuți (now Lviv and Chernivtsi, both in Ukraine), Sofia, Thessaloniki, Athens and Rhodes.
