Some advice to claim Singapore Airlines

Do not accept any offer from Singapore Airlines that doesn’t match what the EU Law dictates. Refer to the sections above to check how much money you are legally entitled to.
Singapore Airlines delayed flights for 3 or more hours
Singapore Airlines delay must be higher than 3 hours to be entitled to a compensation.
Overbooking at Singapore Airlines flight
Singapore Airlines Overbooking: When Singapore Airlines sells more tickets than the possible number of people they can take.
The overbooking is legal, but you are entitled to a compensation up to € 600.
Singapore Airlines aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, but this must be legally sanctioned.

How do I know how long was Singapore Airlines flight delayed?
- Contact a Lexority specialist to tell you how long was the delay of the Singapore Airlines flight without any doubt. You have to be aware that the following sites are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- You can use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Singapore Airlines status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another way is entering to https://www.flightradar24.com/ where you can see the last 7 days Singapore Airlines flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.
Must read: When the Singapore Airlines delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% accurate, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the regulations says has to be taken in consideration.
