After a long delay with Singapore Airlines flights, what are my rights for compensation?

If your Singapore Airlines flight was significantly delayed, your rights depend on where the flight departed and the applicable passenger-rights laws.

For flights leaving the EU (or the UK), EC Regulation 261/2004 applies: if you arrive at your destination 3+ hours late through no “extraordinary circumstances” (like weather), you can claim fixed compensation (€250–€600 depending on distance) plus assistance like meals and hotel if needed, or even a refund and re-routing for long delays.

For non-EU departures, there’s no automatic EU261 cash compensation unless your flight departed from an EU airport; in those cases you may still get care (meals, hotel, rebooking) and a refund if the delay is very long (5+ hours) under the airline’s own policies.

To pursue compensation, gather your booking and delay proof, invoice, and arrival time, then file a formal complaint with Xolvie to seek a resolution.
