Close to the 1,500 km band edge
This route is within 50 km of 1,500 km, where the amount changes. Airlines and courts measure from the exact airport coordinates — check the figure they use.

Also owed for a cancellation with less than 14 days' notice or denied boarding. Not owed for extraordinary circumstances. On a connection, the distance to the final destination counts.
