Which ones would they be Hedge
Heres a few :
Cork (EICK)
Santiago de Compostela (LEST)
Vigo (LEVX)
Nantes (LFRS)
Marseille (LFML)
Bordeaux(LFBD)
Lille (LFQQ)
Dresden (EDDC)
Cologne(EDDK)
Bremen (EDDW)
Shannon (EINN)
Venice (LIPZ)
Torino (LIMF)
Marseille (LFML).... are all CAT III

These are regional airports which would not see a lot of traffic by Euro standards. All the major city airports have at least Cat II with most having CatIII B (No DH RVR 75m).
Countries with only CAT 1 facilities we go to would be the likes of Slovakia,Lithuania,Latvia,Poland,Estonia,

We can plan to the destination as long as the forecast (+-1 Hour) indicates the RVR is that which is specified on the chart or more (for CAT III as low as 75m). It its below this we can still go, but need two alternates.

A CAT II/III airport can be selected as an alternate if the the RVR is above CAT 1 minima (usually 550m). Cloud base is not considered.
