"It is now possible to pay for tickets in such a way on lot.com, as well as in the mobile version and via mobile app," the company announced on its corporate website.

The Polish airline recognized the growing market for bitcoin and the number of bitcoin users worldwide.

"It's just the matter of time when payments with the online currency will become as popular as using credit cards today," LOT Sales and Distribution Executive Director Jiri Marek said in a press release. "We notice this potential, which is why we are one of the first airlines in the world to give its passengers the possibility of paying with Bitcoins as early as today."

Customers will be able to pay for tickets fairly easily, unlike other retail giants and travel sites such as Expedia, which makes it extremely difficult to pay with bitcoin.
