Silkair delayed flights for 3 or more hours

Silkair overbooking: is it legal?
Silkair Overbooking: When Silkair sells more tickets than the possible number of people they can accommodate.
The overbooking is legal, but you are entitled to a compensation up to € 600.
Silkair aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, and this must be legally sanctioned.

How to know how long the Silkair flight has been delayed
- Have a Lexority attorney to tell you how long the Silkair flight delay was without any doubt. Take in to account that the following tools are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- Use the web http://www.flightstats.com/ where if you register you can see the Silkair status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another way is to go to https://www.flightradar24.com/ where you can see the last 7 days Silkair flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.
Note: When the Silkair delay is very close to 3 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.
