LHR-SFO flight delayed
We boarded nearly an hour after scheduled departure, after which the flight left the gate nearly two hours later and took off three hours and two minutes after scheduled departure. Would you know if I might qualify for compensation?

15:35 vs 17:32, so less than 2.5 hours. The pilot announcements were rather vague, a mixture of supposedly waiting for passengers, luggage being loaded etc.

No compensation due.
On oa fligth of that distance it needs to be 3 hours to get 50% of the compensation and over 4 hours for the full amount.
