Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Olympic Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Marseille - Athens flight.
What are your rights at Marseille airport in case of prolonged wait?
Don't buy your food without first asking Olympic Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Olympic Airlines systems.
