In England, now you can sue over flight delays over 3 hours -- (link)

Last October the European Court of Justice ruled that delays caused by airline failures, such as technical faults or a lack of flight crew, merited compensation. (www.dailymail.co.uk)

In Russia, flight delays over 3 hours sue you! -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 11:51
Airlines will still be able to deny payouts where delays are outside their control, such as during bad weather or strikes. - Strongbad Jan 31, 11:51 6
- Or when they claim bad weather when it doesn't exist. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 11:52 5
  - *hires a weatherman to predict whatever they want* -- nm - Delta si Jan 31, 11:52 4
    - I don't fly Delta (yet) but I've had both American and Southwest claim bad weather delays when none existed. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 11:55 3
      - if they can't get the equipment there because of weather somewhere else, it's still weather related. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 11:57 1
        
        No, the airplane is sitting here. They claim bad weather at the landing site is why they can't take off. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 11:59
      - I hate on Delta due to their large presence here. - Strongbad Jan 31, 11:56
